Tasty Vanilla Custard Ice Cream

What better way to finish a meal than to indulge in the ultimate dessert,  custard-style vanilla ‎ice cream. This finish is great by itself, or topped with dark chocolate curls, fresh strawberry ‎syrup or a mix of toasted coconut and chopped macadamia nuts.‎

Here's a quick, never fail recipe for tasty vanilla custard ice cream that my guests enjoy ‎whenever I serve it. They never believe that it only takes 30 minutes to prepare!‎


TASTY VANILLA CUSTARD ICE CREAM

‎1 can (14oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk‎
‎1 can (14oz) Evaporated Milk‎
‎1 pint Whipping Cream‎
Pure Vanilla Extract, to taste‎

Pour all ingredients into a 8+ cup blender. Mix on low speed until well incorporated and slightly ‎thickened. ‎
Pour the custard into an ice cream maker. Process the custard according to manufacturer's ‎directions.‎
Once soft-frozen, remove ice cream from ice cream maker and place into an 8 - 10 cup freezer ‎container. You can serve this ice cream immediately or freeze for 1 – 2 hours for firmer ice ‎cream. ‎
To "firm" freeze, place a layer of plastic wrap on top of the ice cream then cover the freezer ‎container with an air tight covering. Place the container in the freezer for 1 - 2 hours, then serve.‎
Yield: Approximately 16 servings‎


Enjoy!
