Summer just screams for homemade ice cream. Growing up every summer my Grandparents would put on an ice cream social. The ice cream social was made of lots of homemade ice cream, cakes, cookies, all sorts of toppings, and every available relative. It was so much fun. Some of the machines weren’t electric and we had to turn those ourselves. I have always missed those days as an adult, it was the big party to go to.
French Vanilla Ice Cream is an old-fashioned frozen treat to enjoy any time of the year. It’s great alone, with toppings, or served with cake.
This recipe is from Ben and Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream and Dessert cookbook. You can find many more of their recipes in this book.

Do you have to heat this up first or just use raw ? eggs?
Chris says
Great easy recipe. I like it better with only one egg. It is more creamy if it is whisked for about 5 min before putting in the ice-cream maker.
Stephanie says
Great tip, thank you for sharing.
August says
Easy and fast. Creamy and very good. Flavor -wise, perhaps a bit more vanilla and some salt or add some different flavors for a twist.
Norma says
