Vanilla is the king of ice cream flavors. This version without eggs ('American' or 'Philadelphia-style') has a brighter, more pronounced vanilla flavor.

Ingredients

  • 0.8 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2.3 cups Milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla

  1. Stir sugar, cream, and milk into a saucepan over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Heat just until mix is hot and a small ring of foam appears around the edge.
