Simple Vanilla or Chocolate Ice Cream

We LOVE ice cream!  For a rare and special treat, I got out an old ice cream maker I have had for 20 years (and had only used once) and made us some fresh, whole food ice cream!  These are simple ice creams without eggs or cooking.  They can be mixed up and processed in the ice cream maker in a matter of minutes.  Next, I plan to learn how to make a more complicated frozen custard, but for now, these are delicious!
