    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.

    Can we use cooking cream instead of heavy cream?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      you can use whipping cream. (30-35%).. if you use with less fat it won't whip

  8. kd Author says:

    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..?? 😛
