Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.


Fire up the ice cream maker. This Ben and Jerry's copycat vanilla keeps it simple and elegant. You'll soon be on your way to the freshest ice cream you've ever tasted.
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream, milk, and vanilla and whisk to blend.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.

Since this uses raw eggs I used an egg substitute just to be on the safe side. I also slightly heated the cream and milk together and let just ever so gently simmer on the stove with a scraped vanilla bean in it for about 30 minutes. I strained the milk mixture and let it cool before proceeding. Added a lovely extra vanilla flavor to it. Note: you can do that with a cinnamon stick too and it works great in this recipe.

We purchased an electric ice cream maker a month or so age. After searching many websites for the best ice cream recipe, I settled on this one. It is so easy to make and adding extra flavors is no problem. I have been told repeatedly that this is the best ice cream, store bought or home made that "they've ever had". I use home raised eggs, so no worries about raw eggs in the recipe. If you are looking for the best, easiest, most adaptable ice cream recipe - look no further!

I use superfine sugar and the best possible vanilla. I cook this ice cream until 170 degrees. It is delicious and people rave about it.

I use authentic Mexican vanilla and 2 teaspoons of vanilla was way too much. The ice cream had an over whelming vanilla flavor to the extent of not being very good. I would try 1 teaspoon of vanilla or even less.
