Daddy'S Homemade Ice Cream
Creamy homemade ice cream with rich vanilla flavor, perfect for family gatherings or warm days, offering a smooth texture and delightful sweetness.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs and sugar until smooth and light yellow.
- Add vanilla, condensed milk, and evaporated milk and stir well.
- Pour the mixture into a container.
- Fill with whole milk up to the line.
- Freeze until firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using heavy cream instead of whole milk when filling the container. If you're short on time, you can substitute the Eagle Brand milk with sweetened condensed milk and a bit of milk to achieve similar sweetness and consistency. Make sure to whip the eggs and sugar thoroughly for a light and fluffy base.
Serving Suggestions
This homemade ice cream is delightful on its own but can also be served alongside chocolate cake or fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast. It pairs beautifully with Cream Puffs And Eclair Mix for an indulgent dessert platter. Consider drizzling chocolate or caramel sauce on top for an extra treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming. It can last in the freezer for up to two weeks, but it's best enjoyed within the first week for optimal flavor and texture. To serve after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use egg substitutes in this recipe?
Yes, you can use egg substitutes like flaxseed meal or commercial egg replacers to make this recipe suitable for those avoiding eggs. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture and flavor, so adjust the sweetness if needed.
How can I make this ice cream without an ice cream maker?
You can make this ice cream without a machine by stirring the mixture every 30 minutes as it freezes. This helps break up ice crystals and results in a smoother texture. Repeat this process for about 3-4 hours until it’s fully set.
What can I do if my ice cream is too hard?
If your ice cream is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before scooping. This will help soften it enough to serve easily. You can also adjust the sugar content next time for a softer consistency.
