Description
This Easy Vanilla Homemade Ice Cream Base is a no-cook, no-egg, no-stress recipe. It takes 2 minutes to make (the base, not the ice cream). Just add your favorite flavoring near the end of the churning and freeze. If you are curious about the difference between egg and no-egg, cook and no-cook, homemade and semi-homemade ice creams, check out the recipe post above. We also give many flavoring ideas so you never have to run out of ice cream in your freezer.
