Aww, sweet simple vanilla bean ice cream.
I love you. I love you by yourself, with berries, I love you à la mode on top of cakes and pies, with sauce, with toppings, on cold days, on warm days, before dinner, after dinner, really, I just love you.
That would be the love letter I would write to this extraordinarily beautiful dessert that can stand alone or complement so many other foods.
Raw Dairy Ice Cream
Did I mention this ice cream is raw?!
That’s right, this recipe uses raw dairy for maximum health benefits. Make sure to use raw cream and fresh eggs from clean, healthy, pastured animals from farms that you trust.
Because this recipe calls for raw cream and eggs it may not be for everyone but if you have access to raw cream and fresh eggs then you should really give it a go!
Keto Friendly Raw Ice Cream
To make this recipe low-carb and keto friendly all you need to do is replace the maple syrup with pure organic monk fruit powder and a little salt.
No one will suspect that this ice cream is now sugar free!
Preparing Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Recipe yields 2 quarts.
I use a KitchenAid mixer with an ice cream attachment for my ice cream and I’ve always liked the way it comes out. The mixer churns the ice cream slowly for a smooth, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth result. The ice cream attachment has several parts including a bowl that gets frozen beforehand. So start by freezing the bowl for 24 hours prior to making this recipe, or follow your ice cream maker’s instructions.
This vanilla bean ice cream is only four wholesome nourishing ingredients. It's made with raw eggs and cream and sweetened with pure maple syrup. The recipe can be made completely sugar free by using pure monk fruit powder! Pro Tip: Freeze a large glass storage container to transfer the ice cream into right when it's done. That way you will have much less melt during transfer, resulting in better texture.

Hi, in the past when I've made egg based ice cream there is a cooking step that brings temp to around 170F or "coats back of spoon" to make custard. Is this recipe meant to be raw? If so, is there an advantage one way or the other? How does raw compare to texture of the usual custard base?

Hi Jason,
Yes, you are correct. I have also made custard style ice cream, but this recipe is meant to be raw and give you the benefit and nutrition of raw egg yolks. Raw egg yolks are easier for many people to digest and their nutrients are more concentrated when consumed raw. I find the texture to be almost identical, but the flavor is a little different. not in a bad way, the ice cream just doesn't have that cooked flavor. I hope you'll try it! Use quality pastured eggs and you'll be amazing by how good you feel after eating this superfood!
