FAQ
Can I use vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract?
Yes, you can substitute one vanilla bean for the vanilla extract. Simply split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and the empty pod to the milk mixture and proceed with the recipe as directed.
Can I make this recipe without an ice cream maker?
While an ice cream maker produces the best results, you can still make homemade ice cream without one. Pour the chilled custard into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, remove the dish from the freezer and stir the mixture vigorously to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process until the ice cream is frozen to your desired consistency.
How long will homemade ice cream keep in the freezer?
Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks of being made. Over time, it may develop ice crystals and lose some of its creamy texture and flavor.
