Ben and Jerry’s Sweet Cream Ice Cream

Ben and Jerry’s Sweet Cream Ice Cream

From: Tami P. (Cooking group)

Ingredients:

2 large eggs

¾ C sugar

2 C heavy or whipping cream

1 C milk

Directions:

Whisk eggs in mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.  Whisk in sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.  Pour in the cream and milk and whisk until blended.  Chill in refrigerator.  The colder your mixture is to begin with the better it will freeze in your machine.

Notes:

- add 2 tsp of vanilla to make a French Vanilla ice cream (I always use Mexican vanilla)

- For Strawberry Ice Cream, mix 1 pint of cut up berries, the juice of ½ a lemon, and ⅓ cup sugar. Refrigerate at least an hour, mash, then mix in your sweet cream base.

-For Cookies and Cream, make your sweet cream base and add 2 tsp of vanilla.  Add 1 cup of coarsely chopped Oreos when your ice cream is almost done freezing.
