At that point it was soft but edible. I put it in the freezer overnight. It makes about one quart. Mine took about two hours in the freezer, then about ten minutes in the ice cream maker.

I'm afraid I'll make the custard version and I'll be spoiled for the simple kind.<br /><br />For the vanilla, I use real vanilla extract, not artificial. So the flavor is still really good. Would making my own from a fresh bean be better? Hard to say without doing a side-by-side comparison. I've got the egg recipe on standby, but whenever I make this everyone loves it.

If so, is there further instruction on this not-so-basic 'advanced' recipe? ;) Is there a huge difference in using egg and vanilla bean?

But you were too polite to just come right out and say, "Yo, you messed up the ingredients."<br/><br/>You are, of course, completely correct that it should have been teaspoons. And now that's what it says. Anon, you knew that sounded wrong, didn’t you? But you were too polite to just come right out and say, “Yo, you messed up the ingredients.”

Just to clarify, do you recommend 1-2 Tablespoons of vanilla or 1-2 Teaspoons? Thanks! Thanks for this – just got an ice cream maker and can’t wait to try!

But I still need to chill the cream until it's nearly frozen before pouring it in. When I do that I can actually do two batches back-to-back. I just tried a batch of chocolate a couple of days ago, and it didn't set up correctly. Gina, I keep it in the freezer too.

That way, I take it out at the very last minute and I know it's frozen enough and stays that way for quite a while. Also, I believe you're suppose to turn the machine on and then pour the mixture in through the top (I do it this way), which gets things moving right away.

As for the vanilla bean, I'll be picking some up on my next trip to the West Side Market. Anon, I almost did the version with the egg, but wanted to start basic.
