I love a good vanilla ice cream and this dressed up version of brown sugar vanilla bean ice cream is delicious!

Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Whenever I am asked what my favorite ice cream is I always hesitate because I really love a good vanilla ice cream but that just seems so boring to say!  But I have come to terms with it and will pick a good vanilla bean ice cream over just about anything else.  Every once in a while I like to dress it up with some fudge sauce, salted caramel sauce or today’s version with some brown sugar.

Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

The combination of brown sugar and vanilla bean is pure goodness.  I used real vanilla bean but gives it even more vanilla goodness.  If you don’t have one or can’t find one in your grocery store you can use vanilla extract but it’s not quite the same. Be sure and use a quality vanilla extract if you aren’t using a vanilla bean.

Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Using real vanilla bean is definitely worth the trouble and the extra expense.  It gives the ice cream such an amazing vanilla flavor. To use a vanilla bean all you have to do is slit it open with the tip of a sharp knife and then scrap the tiny little seeds inside into your liquid.  I also add in the whole bean and let all that flavor seem into your milk.

Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

As usual, I used my trusty Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.  I found the flavor was even better after the ice cream set up for a day.  I love using this ice cream container to keep my ice cream in the freezer.  It really helps it maintain a nice smooth texture.

Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

This Brown Sugar and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream also makes great ice cream sandwiches.  I love using a butter waffle cookie and the ones from Trader Joes are my favorite.

Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

I’m hoping for a nice warm summer because my favorite way to keep cool is homemade ice cream and I want an excuse to make lots of this one!

    My sister is allergic to corn. Is there another substitute for corn syrup or can I just leave it out?

    in the Ice cream recipe you have ( 1 Tbsp light corn syrup) and in the instructions it states 1.In a heavy pan combine milk, vanilla bean, vanilla bean seeds, brown sugar, (corn starch and salt) I love your recipes and would like to try this one just need to know which one to use. I hope it will be corn starch but sure it will be light corn syrup.
    thanks I do enjoy your post.

      Sorry for the confusion Nadine. It should be corn syrup not corn starch. Hope you enjoy it too!!

    In the ingredients list it says “corn syrup” but in the directions it says “corn starch”.
