I have been making my own ice cream for years,
the recipe I use does not call for eggs at all.
2 cups of heavy cream
1 cup of whole milk
3/4 cups of granulated sugar.
These three ingredients are all that's needed for
basic ice cream.
Variations
Vanilla
The fun comes in creating flavors. If you want vanilla,
you can substitute the whole milk with vanilla milk,
or add in vanilla extract to taste.
Coconut
Same goes when I make coconut ice cream for
my friend. I substitute the whole milk with coconut
milk, then add in cocount extract to taste. coconut
milk can be purchased in cans in the grocery store.
It is a great flavor that you won't find most places.
Chocolate
I've made chocolate with the same switch of milk
flavors.
Maple Walnut
To make maple walnut, follow the above, add in
maple extract, then walnuts. You can make
strawberry that way too.
Flavor and Fun Variations
You can also add in chocolate chips, nuts,
coconut, even mini M&M's in your homemade batch.
When making home made ice cream, only your
imagination is the limits.
