    Tis the season, and I'm in the hunt for a good vanilla ice cream recipe. Here's the caveat: We have an egg allergy. Does anyone have a rich tasting recipe without eggs? I've done a net hunt, but I they can be a tad unreliable. I'd love a recipe that someone has actually tried.

    Thanks!

    I actually make frozen yogurt and sorbets in my ice cream maker, mostly. To make a lovely, rich frozen yogurt, I use 1 container of lowfat Fage yogurt, and one container of full-fat Fage yogurt - usually I add the juice of one lemon, a cup of simple syrup, maybe a little milk to thin it out a bit, and while it turns I typically add in some macerated strawberries, but I'm sure you could add vanilla flavoring, and the paste from the inside of a vanilla bean to the base. Sorry I don't have a more specific recipe - I just usually make desserts up as I go along.

    Cornstarch should help with the texture if omitting eggs.
    Here's recipes I have tried from saveur:

    You may have already tried and rejected it, but I find the eggless recipe in the Cuisinart Instruction and Recipe Booklet on page 4 of the booklet to be pretty good, though not as rich as the premium vanilla bean (2 eggs and 3 yolks) one on page 8.

    The eggless one uses:
    1 cup whole milk
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    2 cups heavy cream
    1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    Do you think honey would work in place of the syrup? That would be ideal.

    tried Jen_in_RoPa's recipe last night - the base was fabulous! really wonderful flavor and couldn't be easier to assemble (well, I did have a mishap relating to the crafting of my sugar syrup, totally my own fault though) Thanks, Jen_in_RoPa!

    anyway, it didn't set up very well. I think I've concluded that my ice cream maker is totally lame. It's the ice cream maker attachment for my kitchen-aid mixer. it doesn't seem to stay cold enough long enough for an base to set up properly. It could also be that I added all the juice when I added my berries, or that I added the berries too soon (I followed the manual's instructions). I'm going to try thawing it back to liquid and then re-churning it. Anyone else have problems with the kitchen-aid ice cream maker?

    I've had good results using the Ben & Jerry's French Vanilla Ice Cream recipe. I was at Eli's warehouse store on Saturday (after hitting the Maurice Lenell cookie factory) and bought some Madagascar vanilla extract (along with a Key Lime cheesecake, and loaf of pumpkin sherry bread) and made a batch of vanilla ice cream with it last night. It was very good, the best extract I think I've ever used. I shaved some good high-cacao content milk chocolate into the mixture at the very end end and after letting it set a bit in the freezer served it with fresh raspberries. I use a Cuisinart ice cream maker that's about 3-years old and once the mixture is poured in I let it run for 30-40 minutes.

    a "p.s." Sorry, just remembered the "egg-less" request - which the recipe I follow doesn't comply with. I've used the corn starch substitute in other ice cream recipes, and haven't liked the results.

    Go get the Cuisinart one for $50. Not the world's greatest, but for $50, quite decent.
