This creamy, no-egg vanilla ice cream is a timeless dessert that’s rich in flavor and incredibly easy to make. Using a Cuisinart ice cream maker, you’ll achieve a silky-smooth texture without the hassle of cooking a custard base. Perfect for any occasion, this recipe is a must-try for both beginners and seasoned cooks!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 vanilla bean (or substitute with 2 extra teaspoons vanilla extract)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vanilla Bean: Split the vanilla bean crosswise, then lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds (caviar) using the back of a knife and add them to a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: Whisk together the vanilla caviar, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar dissolves completely. The mixture should feel smooth without any graininess.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into the pre-frozen bowl of your Cuisinart ice cream maker. Churn for about 20 minutes or until it thickens to a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Freeze (Optional): For firmer ice cream, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 3–4 hours before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve in waffle cones, bowls topped with sprinkles, or alongside warm desserts like apple pie or brownies.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use high-quality vanilla beans for the best flavor or replace them with vanilla paste for convenience.
  • Ensure your ice cream maker’s bowl is frozen solid (at least 24 hours in advance).
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand to speed up churning time and improve texture.

Storage & Reheating: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping if frozen too hard.
