PHILADELPHIA-STYLE VANILLA ICE CREAM

You only need 10 minutes to get this no-cook ice cream churning. It's very simple: just milk, cream, sugar and flavorings. It can taste icy at first, but once it softens, it's fluffy and creamy, and the lack of eggs and other stabilizers makes it extra light.

PHILADELPHIA-STYLE ICE CREAM BASE

Made without eggs, this ice cream is much less rich than those made with a custard base. The lack of eggs also allows the flavorings to shine through, making it a light in texture yet intense in taste. Using a combination of granulated sugar and liquid sugar (corn syrup, honey or agave syrup) helps keep the texture smooth and silky.
