Sometimes you need a perfect, simple Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe. Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream goes well in sundaes, with pie, on top of a warm brownie, and right from the container with a spoon.

I have several recipes that use either sweet cream or vanilla ice cream but I haven’t gotten around to sharing my ice cream recipe on its own yet. If you are too adventurous for plain ole vanilla make sure to check out my Sweet Cream Coffee Caramel Ice Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream with a Chocolate Truffle Core, Pecan Praline Ice Cream, and Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Peanutty Caramel. And the other ten or so ice cream recipes on my blog. Can you tell I like ice cream?

Wondering about that fantastic low carb brownie you see? That is one of my Little Debbie Fudge Healthy Brownies. For an even more fabulous sundae drizzle on some Hot Fudge.

The best thing about this homemade vanilla ice cream recipe is you can control the ingredients. This doesn’t have any weird add-ins you can’t pronounce. I do add a little vegetable glycerin to my ice creams so they stay soft and scoopable in the freezer. That is always optional. If you are patient enough to let your ice cream temper for thirty minutes you can omit it. Patience has never been my strongest virtue.

These leftover pint containers are perfect for storing homemade ice cream. My husband went on a gelato kick a few years back and brought home half a dozen pints at once when these were on sale. And that is why I normally do the grocery shopping.

If you are concerned about using raw egg yolks you can purchase pasteurized eggs or you can temper the ice cream base. I don’t do either. I guess I’m a bit of a rebel but I’ve never gotten sick from raw eggs in ice cream or cookie batter.

Instructions
  1. Put all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Recipe Notes

If you are concerned about using raw egg yolks you can purchase pasteurized eggs or you can temper the ice cream base.

The glycerin helps the ice cream to stay scoopable in the freezer. If you don’t mind letting the ice cream sit out at room temperature for about half an hour before scooping you can omit the glycerin.

  1. Thank you so much for this recipe! I started making ice cream at home a year or two ago and thought I would have to give it up! Could I use Swerve? If so, would I use the same amount? I am pretty new to Keto and have done almost no baking with sweeteners. I am hesitant to invest in bigger quantities until I try a few things. I can get Swerve at my local grocery stores.

    • Hi Janet, you will need approximately twice as much. My sweetener is twice as sweet as swerve. It should sub in fine in this recipe though! You can add it slowly and taste test.

    • You can omit it and let the ice cream soften at room temperature for about half an hour before scooping. Some recipes add a little vodka in place of glycerin but I have not tried that yet.

  3. Can you just pour in a container and freeze? I only have an original ice cream machine.

    • Any ice cream machine should work. Without an ice cream machine at all you could make this into popsicles but not ice cream. It would freeze too hard to scoop.

    • A serving is 1/6th of the recipe. Ice cream makers can vary but if you get 3 pints of ice cream, like I did, that makes each serving half a pint. I kept the servings large because who really wants to just eat one scoop? Not me.

    • I think so but I have not tried in this particular recipe. I have a recipe for peanut butter coconut milk ice cream: joyfilledeats.com/peanut-butter-swirl-ice-cream

    • Those words should be a clickable link to: joyfilledeats.com/sweetenerMy sweetener is a blend of erythritol, xylitol, and stevia.

  7. Could you explain the tempering process, please? I do not have access to pastuerized eggs. Is is like when you make a custard?
    Reply

    • Yes, you whisk the hot liquid into the egg yolks. Here is a tutorial: http://www.cookinglight.com/cooking-101/how-to-temper-eggs-ice-cream

  8. I didn't know there was such a thing as pasteurized eggs! I googled it and found a store that had them and went in the pouring rain so I could make this ice cream! It's sooooo good!

  12. Ooh, I like this easy recipe! Isn't vanilla ice cream wonderful? And I think that brownie is calling my name. Also, congratulations on your new baby and best wishes to you and your family. He is precious!!
