Old Fashioned Vanilla
Ingredients
Makes slightly more than 1 qt
1 large egg
1 cup half-and-half (milk + cream)
¾ cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups heavy cream
Method
Put the egg, 1 cup of half and half, sugar, and vanilla in a blender and blend on medium speed until the mixture us smooth and sugar is dissolved. Slowly add the 3 cups of cream and continue blending until mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to ice cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
Notes: - If you are making ice cream with alcohol in it (the above serves as a great base for Kahlua Chip), it is better to put the alcohol in when the ice cream is almost done. The alcohol interferes with the freezing process, so adding it later seems to help. Same with small solids like chocolate chips; putting them in late gets them evenly distributed, rather than all at the bottom.
