Eggless Vanilla Ice Cream

I made this ice cream a while back - when my husband and daughter made the peach.  It was actually made for my daughter because she doesn't like peach.  Anyway, I chose to hold off posting it because I had just done several ice creams.

This tastes a lot more like old fashioned homemade vanilla than the last vanilla I made, and I really like this much better.  It definitely reminds me of the homemade ice cream I ate as a kid, even without the raw eggs.  This will be my go to recipe for vanilla from now on.  I found the recipe here on the Eagle Brand Milk website and just barely modified it.  I looked there because I remembered that the recipe from my childhood used sweetened condensed milk, and back then, that always meant Eagle Brand Milk.
