How to make Vanilla Ice Cream:
- Prep: Freeze the bowl and paddle attachment to your ice cream maker for 24 hours.
- To prepare ice cream custard: Beat eggs and sugar for 5 minutes, until thick and pale.
- Mix in the cream, milk, and vanilla until blended. Place batter into the fridge at least 4 hours or freeze in as quick as 1-4 hours or until very cold.
- To make ice cream: Pour cold batter into the frozen ice cream maker and churn for 25-30 minutes.
- Ice cream will look gritty once done.

Notes
Servings: this recipe makes approx. 10 (1/2 cup) servings and almost 2 quarts of ice cream once churned. Adult servings and Children's servings vary so calories may differ.
To Scoop Ice cream: freeze the churned ice cream overnight. Use my favorite heavy-duty ice cream scoop for easy scooping.
Soft-serve ice cream: enjoy right after churning for a soft serve vanilla ice cream.
