I just purchased a Cuisinart ice cream maker with my Discover card rewards points at Amazon, and am eager to try this recipe. -Allison

“Were big ice cream fans in our house and I started getting concerned about the use of carrageenan (Some say its Ok  and some say not– Allison)  in most ice cream. I don’t think Strauss uses it. Also, I wanted to get away from white sugar, organic or not. I bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker and have been using raw milk and raw or Strauss cream with agave sweetener and vanilla. It takes about 1/2 an hour to make. The only downside is the freezer tub for making the ice cream is aluminum. After making the ice cream I store it in a separate container.”

1 cup raw milk

2 cups raw or Strauss cream

1/2 cup agave

2 tsp vanilla

Whisk the mixture before adding to the ice cream maker.

I was at IKEA the other day and they have glass storage containers with silicon sealed lids. The seal is removable, too. They come in various sizes and have a cool stack-able design. They have temperature-safe symbols on the bottom of the containers. I’m using one for the ice cream and it seems to be just fine in the freezer. Note from Carla: excellent for freezing stock too.
