    I tried this, nice but too much work with all the mixing etc. I still think its hard to beat the no churn ice cream recipe on this site. It works perfectly every time.

    @Staceyjm - you'll find creme fraiche in the cream/yoghurt section of your local shop. It comes in a tub, similar to cream or natural or Greek yoghurt. Hope that helps.
