Naturally Sweetened Vanilla Ice Cream
This is so good, quick and easy. The best part is that there is NO refined SUGAR. This recipe is adapted from Sally Fallon’s Cookbook, Nourishing Traditions. This is best made in an ice cream maker, but can also be made in a blender. The result isn’t as creamy in a blender, it takes a little more effort, and the freezing time can vary, but it still works. The picture on the right is blended ice cream before it’s been frozen. The picture on the left is ice cream from an ice cream maker. That picture was taken after it’s been frozen, but it is still solid, yet creamy out of the ice cream maker too. The Whynter Ice Cream Maker has made homemade ice cream a regular dessert at our house because it is so quick and doesn’t need pre-freezing. It only takes an hour to make plus about 15 minutes to mix the ingredients and blend. We use it weekly and we love it!

Naturally Sweetened Vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 3 pasture raised egg yolks
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup Just Panela organic, unrefined, and unprocessed pure cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups cream-top whole milk (like Kalona SuperNatural Organic vat-pasteurized) or raw milk
- 1 cup organic heavy cream
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
Directions
Place egg yolks in a small bowl and beat well and then place in blender and beat a little more.
Add remaining ingredients and pulse to blend.
Pour in an ice cream maker and follow directions on ice cream maker.
Alternatively, pour into a metal loaf pan and put in freezer for a 3 hours or until hardened. This could take up to 24 hours so be sure to make this in advance of serving. Remove from freezer, chop into pieces that will fit in your blender. Blend until smooth.
Serve right away for best results or scoop into quart container to freeze and eat later. Place a piece of parchment or wax paper over the top of the ice cream to prevent freezer burn. If you want a softer texture, re-blend it when you take it out of the freezer and before serving.
If making in an ice cream maker, serve when finished and/or save for later in a quart container in the freezer.
Enjoy!
