Do you make your own ice cream?

I'm not lactose intolerant...but ever since my surgery in 03 sometimes too much dairy makes me feel kinda wonky so I got this recipe off of Recipezaar and it's totally yummy...if you use Vanilla soy milk it kicks it up a notch too:
Vanilla Soy Ice Cream

And I love peppermint ice cream and this is my tried & true recipe for it (it's for 4 quarts)
2 1/2 C milk
2 C sugar
1 t salt
2 1/2 C half & half
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
6 C whipping cream
2 C peppermint candy

Scald milk until it bubbles. Remove from the heat. Add sugar & salt, stir until dissolved. Stir in half & half, vanilla & cream. Cove & put in the fridge for about 30 mins. Crush your candies & then stir into the chilled mix. Then freeze.

I have a bunch that came with my maker...some of my favs are cherry yogurt, pina colada yogurt, spiced cider sorbet & praline almond fudge ice cream...I can scan them & send them to ya :)

to the top of your mouth.
um.
yum.

We have a cheapo ice cream maker and I think we've used it once. I didn't like dealing with the ice and salt and we ended up with so much ice cream that I haven't been too keen on doing it again.

For you lactose intolerant ladies (or anyone really I guess), there's vegan ice cream: The Vegan Scoop
 
oh thanks for the tip ladies!!! When our ice cream maker gets here I might be calling on those recipes Brynn ;)
