This is the BEST ice cream ever! Thank you!!

I use two tablespoons of good vanilla. You can’t go wrong. But if you’d rather use less, that’s fine too.

2 tablespoons spoons of vanilla? Is that right or should it be teaspoons?

I’m so happy y’all enjoyed it! Can’t beat Oreo ice cream!

I recently bought the ice cream attachment for my Bosch mixer to make homemade ice cream with my granddaughters. Today was our trial run making Oreo ice cream and, OH, WOW! Now my family is debating what ice cream flavors I should be making for the holidays. Our obsession over ice cream dates back decades when my Dad and I would make ice cream on Thanksgiving morning in his garage. Even longer ago, when my Dad was young he and his brothers would make ice cream in the basement of their farmhouse, taking turns hand-cranking the ice cream maker while his sisters stood on top of the tub to keep it from moving all over the basement. I guess I’m reminiscing.
Try this ice cream!

Yes, I often refrigerate the mixture overnight. Good luck!

No you don’t need to heat the mixture. Just mix everything together.

I normally prefer using whole milk and heavy cream for a creamier consistency. Using something like 1 or 2% milk will be less rich and creamy.

One more question if you do f mind! I’m curious why recipes call for heavy cream and some form of milk like 1%. If I use whole milk does that take care of the heavy cream AND 1% milk or is this just replacing the 1%? Curious to know the whys behind that as I start experimenting for myself. Thank you!

Yes, you could use whole milk instead.
