    Rich and Creamy Homemade Country Vanilla Ice Cream

    June 27, 2013 Filed Under: Desserts, Frozen

    Country Vanilla Ice Cream - A simple recipe for basic Vanilla Ice Cream that you can change up by adding cocoa powder or pureed fruit before churning. 

    Old Fashioned Country Vanilla Ice Cream is a classic homemade custard ice cream with a rich creamy vanilla taste.

    When I wrote up the blog on Peach Cobbler I tried to link to the Country Vanilla Ice Cream recipe as a perfect "go with". One problem, it wasn't on the site. So I pulled out my original copy of the cookbook that became this site and typed it up.

    I have a wonderful manual ice cream maker courtesy of my mother. She used it for years and as they downsized kitchens it moved to my house. It still works great so I can't really justify buying one that would go with my mixer even though I think it would be a fun gadget. Besides, my sous chef can work for his ice cream by turning the crank every two minutes.

      Well when I saw Peach Cobbler, I had to click over to see your recipe ~ i make it every Summer from a very old recipe and will be giving yours a try ~ so back to your Vanilla Ice Cream post 🙂 ~ Just last night, while watching TV, I got some ice cream and said ~ I used to think vanilla/chocolate ice cream was boring, now I just love it ~ I'm guessing my taste is changing as I get older LOL!!
