Description: This delightful creamy vanilla ice cream blends the richness of heavy cream with the tanginess of yogurt, resulting in a flavor profile that surprises and pleases the palate. Inspired by a classic Ben & Jerry’s recipe, I adjusted the proportions to create a tangy, refreshing treat that won’t remind you of yogurt at first bite. It’s the perfect dessert for family gatherings, especially for little ones, and offers a creamy texture that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
