This is our favorite homemade ice cream base and we use it in almost all of our ice cream recipes. It only has 5 ingredients. The result is a delicious, clean, sweet cream base that works well with any ice cream recipe. It comes from the Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book p. 28. We made very minor changes to use Pasteurized Eggs (see the Tip “Pasteurizing Eggs Instruction Sheet”), and a dash of salt.
