One reader left a comment saying, “I’ve made this recipe several times now and each time feels like a little miracle! I’ve had fun with different mix ins, from Oreo’s to fresh raspberries and chocolate chips. It’s a bit dangerous to know how to make ice cream THIS GOOD, that turns out even better than the local favorite go-to!!” I love ice cream! It’s a timeless classic that tastes great any time of the year. I love that it comes in so many varieties; there’s a flavor for every holiday or mood!

With that being said, you’re going to love this recipe!
