Quick and Easy Ice Cream

Who doesn't love ice cream...for those who don't I can't understand :)

My recipe follows the usage of an electric ice cream mixer...oh modern technology

Easy Vanilla:

3 c milk ( I use fat free & it still tastes delish)
1 c sugar
2 tsp vanilla

Combine and mix in ice cream mixer for 30 min then place in tall plastic container to freeze

Honey Vanilla:

3 1/2 c milk (once again ff...I call it skinny girl milk)
1 c honey
4 tsp vanilla

Follow the same directions as the Easy Vanilla

Coffee Ice Cream:

Use the Easy Vanilla as your base and add coffee granules...I add about 2-3 tbsp
