I always like to have vanilla ice cream in the freezer, as it's the perfect pairing to many desserts whether it be to go with chocolate brownies or to just have on its own with milo sprinkled over (one of my favourite quick desserts). It's even better when you have made the ice cream yourself!I have never actually made a real custard ice cream before, because every time I look at the recipe I see all the egg yolks that you need to use and I think what the hell am I going to do with all the egg whites! Now I have found a few recipes for egg whites, so the next time I make ice cream I am going to try the custard version.
This recipe is from David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop book which has many great ice cream/sorbet recipes in it that I would love to work my way through. He calls this Philadelphia style ice cream as it can be made up in a philly minute!
It really is a simple recipe and doesn't take too much preparation at all and is egg free if you are allergic to eggs. The only thing is it gets quite hard in the freezer, so make sure you take it out about 15 minutes before you want to serve it.
All the ingredients - not too many
Dissolving the sugar in the cream and vanilla
Refrigerate overnight before churning in the ice cream machine
Ice cream ready to eat!

I've had a similar ice cream and if you add some crumbled biscuits you can call it cheesecake ice cream! :D
I really need to get myself an icecream maker!!!!
I thought it must have philly cheese in it an I was getting excited! I love creamcheese icecream, looks great anyway - i really really really want and icecream maker.
Lol, no no cream cheese, although I would love to try making that and with Lorraine's suggestion of biscuit crumbs sounds like the perfect dessert!
I'm with Lisa, I'd love an ice cream maker too, but a little afraid what owning one would do to me., I'd be ice creaming every day of the year.
Susan, I had to laugh, I thought it was going to be cream cheese icecream as well! David L's recipes are always so good, aren't they?
Sounds like a good way to finally use my ice-cream churner for something other than sorbets! I tried making a non-custard-based ice-cream once using mascarpone, but found the resulting texture a little too rich and creamy - this looks much lighter.
