Ice Cream Base Mix #2

This is our second favorite homemade ice cream base mix. It only has 4 ingredients, and doesn’t contain eggs which is good for those with egg allergies. However, it tastes a bit greasy due to all of the Half-and-half and whipping cream, and it does not keep as well in the freezer as our Base Mix #1, so should be eaten right away. It comes from the Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book, p. 29. We added a dash of salt.
