Fat Camp Friday #42: Simple {No Egg} Vanilla Ice Cream
Who says ice cream can’t be easy. Who says easy can’t be creamy? Not me. Here is my recipe for a simple (and by simple, I mean super easy), creamy (and by creamy I mean you are not going to get those stupid ice crystals), vanilla ice cream.
Wait. Don’t be alarmed! This recipe only has 4 ingredients, no heated cook time, and super simple directions.
This simple recipe makes a super creamy vanilla that works as the base for many delicious recipes. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 cup cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla
Directions
- Mix 1 cup of the half and half with the sugar until all sugar is dissolved.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Freeze ice cream in ice cream maker, according to manufacturer's directions.
- After the recommended 25 minute churn time, ice cream will be soft. Transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze another 1 - 2 hours to get desired ice cream consistency.

Thanks for hosting! I shared an oh so yummy Chocolate Vanilla Marble Fudge recipe (w/ dairy-free option). Thanks again
Your vanilla ice cream looks yummy too.
Thanks so much for linking up!
Your ice cream looking fabulous!
Thanks for hosting, the ice cream looks great!
Miranda – I’ve been afraid to try making ice cream, but your recipe sounds wonderful. Also, THANK YOU so much for featuring my Strawberry Pound Cake! This week I have linked up Mexican Chicken, Monkey Bread, and Orange Balls. Thanks for hosting!
You are welcome! Thank you for linking again – and don’t be afraid of ice cream. It’s so easy!
This is great since my son can’t eat eggs. I have to get an ice cream maker ASAP!
Kim, if you don’t have an ice cream maker and don’t mind a little extra work, Check out this tutorial from David Lebovitz for step-by-step instructions of doing it without a machine. Although I have not tried it this way, so I can’t promise less ice crystals.
This simple ice cream looks simply delicious! Thank you for sharing and hosting!

That ice cream looks delicious! SO easy. What if I don’t have an ice cream maker.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can put it in your freezer safe container and just stir it every 30 minutes or so until it freezes. That way you will still be “churning” it to reduce ice crystals, you just have to do it manually. Check out this tutorial from David Lebovitz if you need step-by-step instructions.
I’m IN!!! Thanks for the link up!
Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Thanks for hosting! I love that your ice cream only has 4 ingredients. So much healthier than ice creams with all those chemicals in the stores!
And if you want to make it even more natural, use real vanilla beans instead of extract!
What a great and simple recipe….I can use big bowl of that right now with the heat we are having.
This is my first time participating in your Fat Camp Friday (love the title) and I am sharing my decadent chestnut truffles.
Thank you so much for hosting this and I am off to check out some of these mouth watering treats.
Welcome, and thank you for linking up this weekend!
My first time at FCF! I linked one of my favorite super fatty treats… something I named “Holy Moses Dip”!
Welcome! Can’t wait to check that out, I love dips!!
This will be perfect with my new ice cream maker! Yum!
Yay, it is a good “first” recipe too. So easy!
I made this ice cream tonight and it was FABULOUS! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was my first go at homemade ice cream and it turned out great.
AWESOME! So glad you liked it. The thought of making ice cream can be intimidating, so I wanted to share an easy to make/easy to remember recipe. Thanks for sharing your experience!
