Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using fresh eggs instead of pasteurized ones. You can substitute the Eagle Brand milk with any sweetened condensed milk if you prefer. If you want to lower the sugar content, try using a sugar substitute suitable for baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious homemade vanilla ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider drizzling with chocolate or caramel sauce for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with Peanut Butter Brownie Pie(Microwave) for a delightful dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent freezer burn. For best results, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. This will make scooping easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different flavors instead of vanilla?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavorings. Try substituting the vanilla Junket with chocolate or almond extracts for a unique twist. Just be sure to adjust the sugar accordingly if using sweeter flavorings.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, substitute the half and half and whipping cream with coconut cream or almond milk. Use a dairy-free sweetened condensed milk alternative to replace the Eagle Brand milk for a delicious result.
Is it necessary to stir the mixture while freezing?
Stirring the mixture occasionally while freezing helps to achieve a smoother texture and prevents ice crystals from forming. If your freezer allows, check and stir every 30 minutes until the ice cream is firm.
