    I didn't have vanilla sugar, and didn't really want to shell out the $13 to get some vanilla beans at the store to make it, so I went another way. I used a cup of sugar, 2ish teaspoons of vanilla extract, and a teaspoon or so of almond extract. Be careful if you choose to use almond extract, though- it's a lot stronger than vanilla.

    This ice cream would probably go great with pound cake, which requires almond extract too :

    We were having a dinner party...

    Fiance wanted to make a version of quick "ice milk" from the ice cream maker user guide (stuff tastes alright for only a few hours, then starts becoming all ice crystals ~ good for kids to do, but not much flavor for grown-ups.

    Wanting to do things the "right" way, I turned to Alton (who else?. The steps were easy (but why does he list 9 oz of sugar instead of 1 1/3 cups???, and the end result was heavenly.

    The guests are still raving and this one is a keeper. Now I can't wait to try his avocado ice cream!

    I you are looking for the richest ice cream on the planet, look no further. I cut the egg yolks down to 5, the sugar to 8 oz., and swapped out the half & half for whole milk. Much, much better.

    What I cannot understand is, how on the show, that the egg yolks and sugar combination is so light, because when I did it, it is very yellow. The ice cream base was very eggy, especially in odor. While I remember Borden's ice cream being yellow and tasting good due to that, this was too overwhelming.

    It certainly does look like in the show he used 8 egg yolks, but his ice cream is definitely lighter. I suggest perhaps maybe half as many yolks. In fact, his earlier recipe used none (it was Philadelphia style ice cream. I bet if it looks the same light color as it does on the show, it will be very good, the way he intended.

    Surprisingly, the best ice cream yet from him in my odd opinion, was the avocado ice cream. Use about 1/4 cup more sugar and twice as much lemon or add the extra amount as in lime. I put it on directly when serving and it was very good.

    This has to be the best ice cream base that I have tried, hands down! Rich, smooth, creamy, YUMMY! I made it using Nielsen-Massey's Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Bean Paste and the ice cream is outstanding. Thanks Alton!

    I love Alton, but if you have a choice between making this version of vanilla and his first version "Serious Vanilla Ice Cream", stick with the first.

    I just didn't think the eggs added that much to the party flavor wise. Yes it was a denser ice cream but I didn't think it tasted better.
