We found a recipe for simple vanilla ice cream and 20-30 minutes later, we had soft serve waiting for us; that ice cream almost didn't make it to the curing phase.  A few days later, we made more ice cream with the left over ingredients form the first batch and threw in some instant coffee--we almost ate it all in one sitting.  It's safe to say we're never going to buy ice cream again knowing we put in super clean ingredients and can make fluffier and more savory ice cream than those chumps can in your local grocers' freezer.  We've only made ice cream twice and both times we produced excellent results with no previous creamery experience, highly recommend...but don't eat too much or you'll get fat.
