5. American Style Classic Vanilla Ice Cream
Ice cream is ice cream, right? Sort of… but not exactly. The differences are subtle, but the outcome is always delicious.
European-style ice cream uses egg yolks and is a little more like a custard. American-style ice cream doesn’t. Other than that, the process of making both styles is pretty much the same, and both result in a very creamy and delicious treat.
