Just made this for Picky Husband and it was a hit. He is diabatic so I used Splenda in place of the sugar. And I forgot to buy cream so I used my son’s whole milk. Turned out great!

This recipe is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I love ice cream, so I’m shocked I had never heard of buttermilk ice cream. I made it exactly as the recipe is written. I used vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract and chilled the custard overnight. Delicious! My new favorite ice cream!

I don’t but my guess is 8, based on the shells I had in the photo! You won’t regret it.

hi! would you happen to remember how many egg yolks you ended up using? six sounds like a standard amount to me, but does it need a little extra decadence?

Loved reading about your buttermilk ice cream. I grew up eating it. That and fudge and divinity were the only desserts that my grandmother made all others coming from the bakery. That was a long time ago and have had it maybe only once since the 60’s. Wouldn’t mind making some, but I am living in France now and I have never seen buttermilk here. Wonder if it could be called something else. Come to think of it, I have also never seen an ice cream maker here.

I was thinking of making ice cream sandwiches with this and some citrus cornmal cookies. I feel like it would be a good pairing. Any thoughts?

It has a bit more tang than regular ice cream, kind of like a cream cheese versus buttercream frosting; or a sour cream coffee cake versus a regular one. But it’s still sweet and desserty.

I’ll be making this tonight. I’ve started making my own buttermilk with a purchased cultured starter, so I have to find SOMETHING to use it up on! And my CSA accidentally sent me an extra dozen eggs this week, so I have a few extra yolks to use :)

This is absolutely THE best ice cream I have ever had! Getting an ice cream maker for Christmas was the worst thing that has ever happened to me and my boyfriend. It’s all ice cream all the time!
