How did it turn out? Had I responded sooner, I would have recommended that you use the quantities in your Cuisinart booklet, at least the first time. As for the quantities of agave and vanilla, I'd do those "to taste" --- bearing in mind that since the agave that is liquid, it might do to use a little less liquid elsewhere (similar to switching sugar for honey in a recipe). That said, I'm not sure that's necessary, and using an ingredient with a more "gummy" consistency may help with the overall consistency of your ice cream (otherwise, it's kind of frozen milk). I hope you enjoyed it! Well, I imagine your ice cream completed already! How did it turn out?

I cant wait to try this vanilla from your recipe above, although I wasnt able to get raw ingredients i will be this coming week. I was wondering though about the exact measurements for the agave and vanilla. also how much ice cream does your recipe yield. I used the quantities that my cuisinart booklet gave me just using organic ingredients. I cant wait to try other flavors like mint chocolate chip. yum! I am waiting for the ice cream maker to finish.

No, we don't have a business selling organic ice cream; we've just eaten organic and/or natural food for years, and we write about it. At any rate, we like raw milk, so that's what we use — we feel it's better, but that would be your choice. There are Whole Foods Markets in Georgia (<a href="http://wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/georgia/" target="_blank">list</a>), but you can try any natural or organic market for your ingredients. Good luck! Ah, okay. No, we don't have a business selling organic ice cream; we've just eaten organic and/or natural food for years, and we write about it.

I'm in Savannah, Ga., so I was trying to find some places near me that sold those products once I sent the note to you. So, raw milk is better? Do you have a business saling organic ice cream or you were just doing something different? Well, i'm also on the eastcoast thats why i'm up so early.

Aren't we up early! We get the ingredients at different places: - organic cream or colostrum & organic milk We used <a href="http://organicpastures.com/" target="_blank">Organic Pastures</a>' raw milk and cream, which we got at Lassen's in the Santa Clarita Valley. You can call or visit the website to see where/when they're delivering. (Note: we did not get raw milk at Whole Foods because it's really pasteurized and, I believe, homogenized.) - organic agave (sweetener) - organic vanilla - organic egg yolks (optional) All the above at Whole Foods, I believe. Happy deliciousness. Where we are now (North Carolina), it's illegal to sell raw milk, so that's a real drag. :) Hi Garrick! Aren't we up early! We get the ingredients at different places:

Ours is a regular ice cream maker (cheap at $50) but the ice cream does come out fairly soft at first (until put in the freezer). Rather than looking for organic mixes, might you try any recipe that you find appealing, and just substitute organic ingredients? That's what we do. Hi Darcy.
