“Better than the Store” Vanilla Ice Cream (Refined Sugar Free)

Total Time: 20 hrs 10 mins Difficulty: Beginner

There is ZERO guilt with this animal based ice cream! It’s made with only 5 simple, real food ingredients! Who knew ice cream could actually be considered a health food!? 😉

Most ice creams include a long list of unnecessary ingredients, like: MILKFAT AND NONFAT MILK, SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, WHEY, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, GUAR GUM, CALCIUM SULFATE, CAROB BEAN GUM ANNATTO (COLOR), CARRAGEENAN.

Our ice cream includes: whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, pure maple syrup and egg yolks.

The best part… YOU DON’T NEED AN ICE CREAM MAKER!

I blend everything in my blender and freeze! Having healthy, delicious ice cream at home has never been easier!

What you’ll need to make this ice cream:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream (Kalona SuperNatural is my favorite!)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 6 egg yolks

How to make it:

  1. Mix all ingredients in the blender
  2. Pour into freezer safe container and freeze
  3. Stir every few hours until completely frozen. It usually takes 15-20 hours to be completely frozen
  4. Enjoy!!

We make this recipe on repeat in our house! Not only is it a much healthier ice cream option, but the taste far exceeds store bought ice cream! The boys tell me that this ice cream is “better than the stores”!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
