I managed to get my hands on an old fashioned ice-cream maker. It's essentially just a big wooden bucket with an inner metal chamber connected to a hand crank. I haven't used one since I was a child, so I forgot how long they took! Also, how sensitive the ice cream recipes are to variations. The first attempt took about 90 minutes to turn into soft-serve, and the second attempt I added some extra cream to try and change the texture - it was still a slurry milkshake after a whole 120 minutes of churn. The chemistry of the process is definitely interesting, but I think ice cream making is one of those things that is fun to do once or twice, but isn't really worth the trouble compared to store bought.
edit: I did vanilla both times since it was the flavor everyone could agree on, but maybe it'd be more worth it if I sprung for custom flavors!
