  • Yield: 1 1/2 quarts

  • Place the bowl of an ice cream maker into the freezer until completely chilled, 1 hour or longer. For the last 30 minutes, place half-and-half into the freezer, shaking every 10 minutes.
  • Pour chilled half-and-half into a bowl. Add pudding mix and whisk until well combined.
  • Assemble the ice cream maker with the frozen bowl. Turn on the machine so the bowl is rotating. Pour pudding mixture into the machine through the hole in the lid. Allow ice cream to process until desired consistency is reached, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. If serving later, freeze in individual containers as it may become difficult to scoop after freezing. (This recipe makes excellent frozen pudding popsicles.)
