I didn't get a very thick custard on my last try, but I did freeze it, and it was very delicious. I will take pictures tonight.

Believe me, I am no Vogue reader but saw the article about the ice cream maker and next thing you know, I had read my first Vogue article. I feel so -- so -- um, I think I need a beer and some poker.

Anyway.

Great article and can't wait to try the recipes.

With regard to the thickening issue -- I noted that the successful attempt which showed the delicious-looking photo was a half-batch. I have noted in my ice cream making that small batches freeze faster and more solid and I would say that's typical of machines which have a canister you put in the freezer. So pardon me for advising without expertise or much experience <g> but might try making sure the canister is very cold (at least a day in a cold freezer) and/or churning a while longer. I have found these to make a difference.
