Posted 15 Dec 2006 · Report post Homemade ice cream rules!I suggest that people use heavy cream and/or half-n-half that has "only" been pasteurized. Ultra-pasteurized cream and half-n-half have a very heavy feel, are harder to digest, and taste a bit like medicine. Worse, they don't always solidify as well as their pasteurized counterparts; one can't even make butter out of ultra-pasteurized heavy cream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 16 Dec 2006 · Report post Do you use whole eggs or just yolks? I've tried both and prefer yolks to whole.Hi jordanz: Both - especially if I needed the whites for something else. It's been a coon's age since I've made any so I can't bring up the difference in taste. Besides Haagen Dazs there are few commercial ice creams I like. The butterfat is so high, it just feels thick in my mouth.I have an antique cake recipe that calls for a ton of egg yokes and it tastes very similar to the ice cream.
