Looks delicious... the cooking classes sound like fun!
I know! You know, I tried the same recipe using fat free half and half instead of milk and heavy cream, and it works very well. I figure since the eggs already have so much cholesterol, you might as well try anything to make it even marginally healthier! The ice cream came out almost exactly the same with little noticable difference. Keep making fantastic stuff!
