Homemade Ice Cream

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 pints whipping cream

1 pkg instant pudding (flavor of your choice)

Milk

Mix all ingredients (except milk) together and pour into your ice cream freezer.  Pour in milk until the liquid reaches the "fill" line.  Make the ice cream according the directions on your freezer.  We use a 4 quart ice cream freezer. 

We like to use white chocolate or cheesecake pudding mix in our ice cream.  The pudding gives it a creamier flavor and is (in my opinion) the most important ingredient. 

This ice cream is best when it's served right away.  I love it soft and creamy before it's had time to set up all the way.  These pictures are of what the ice cream looks like after it's been in the freezer for a couple days and is now "hard serve" ice cream (that softens up quickly). 

Here it is on top of a warm chocolate chip cookie bar and topped with chocolate syrup.
