Confused about quanity

So the recipe states that this makes 1 quart but the ingredients alone are 6 cups. With expansion during the freezing process I expect this to yield around 7 cups. That's almost 2 quarts.

Flavor Boom

I added a cup of strawberries and put it in my food processor after freezing it for 2 hours. The flavor was good pre-strawberry, but once I added them, it seemed like the flavor just exploded! I was so happy with the turnout, since I am a big ice cream fan and this is a lot healthier (tastier maybe too) than store bought. If you have the time, try it. Definetly worth it.
Look up how to make ice cream in your food processor to learn more. Amazingly easy.

Pros: Super simple, the recipe turned out great!!

wonderful recipe

This is one of the only homemade ice cream recipes that I've made that doesn't turn into an ice brick in the freezer the next day. It will turn rock solid eventually, but it takes a while. Most of the ice cream is gone by that time.

Pros: not rock solid

wonderful custardy taste

Outstanding- you would never know this is low fat. it's so creamy and the vanilla flavor is great. Before putting in the ice cream maker the chilled mix was nice and thick and would make a great custard for other desserts (or eaten right out of the bowl!!). Highly recommend trying it.
