Oooh love the simplicity and pure delicious vanilla flavor!
I made this yesterday, and although I did not have vanilla bean paste, I used Mexican vanilla. This is sooooo delicious and the best thing is that I didn’t have to churn it. From now on, this is the ice cream we will be eating. I looked closely at the lables of commercial ice cream in the store and could not believe all the additives and corn syrup used. Yuk!. A scoop of this would be delicious with a slice of Zebra cake. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much for your reviews, it really means a lot for me. I am very glad you already tried these recipes. This is the reason why I love this ice cream so much, the fact you need so few ingredients, no additives and in my opinion tastes better:)
Homemade ice cream rules! Yours looks divine.
Cheers,

Really? No ice cream maker? What a wonderful recipe!!!
Nothings beats a real vanilla ice cream, absolutely nothing, and classic vanilla ice cream is on the top of my favorite list! I’d so love to have one of those scoops 🙂
That would be my husband’s favorite ice cream. He loves anything vanilla 🙂
Can we use cooking cream instead of heavy cream?
you can use whipping cream. (30-35%).. if you use with less fat it won't whip
We don’t really get heavy or whipped cream here and we have to travel 17 miles away to get it which is impossible for now but I do have 1/2 cup of mascarpone cheese and a 200ml of fresh cream (25% fat I know its not possible to whip but still any suggestions..?? Please tell me..?? Anxiously Waiting..?? 😛
