Hi Megan, There really isn’t a substitute for the bean itself, as what it does is infuse the vanilla flavor. I would just double the amount of vanilla extract to 1.5 teaspoons. In the future, you can order vanilla beans from King Arthur or Penzeys (that’s what I do because it’s cheaper than buying them at the grocery store!). Enjoy the ice cream!

Hi Michelle, Do you (or anyone else that sees this) have any advice for a substitution of the vanilla bean? I know you can use vanilla extract but I see that that is also in the recipe. I don’t have vanilla beans and can’t find them anywhere in my area and I don’t think I can wait anyone day to make this recipe. Thanks!

Gosh does that look good. I forgot to comment the other day when this appeared in my mail box. I want to make this for my son when he comes home from Karate Camp. I am going to print this and make sure i have it ready next week. Thanks again for the yummy ice cream! I just made a successful batch of chocolate chunk ice cream. I am pumped to make more.

haha, that’s funny b/c i wouldn’t touch the vanilla in the Neapolitan mix – it felt like a waste of stomach space to eat ice cream with no flavor. we should have matched up to make sure none of it went to waste. great looking ice cream – fresh strawberries make all the difference!

Very pretty, Michelle! Strawberry ice cream, using the sweetest berries of the season, seems to just scream “summer”.

I made this yesterday for my family and it was absolutely fantastic!!! Everyone had a sugar cone after dinner… and now my mom & grandma want to have a family dinner every Sunday just so I can make a weekly flavor! We floated around the pool suggesting flavor combinations then we went back inside and everyone had another cone:) Thanks so much for a great recipe and the inspiration to create more flavors… it definitely brought my family together this week and maybe start a new tradition:)

I had the same reaction to strawberry ice cream as a kid. It was not my favorite. Now on the other hand, I welcome it as a wonderful sweet treat. Your photos are gorgeous!

I use to hate those little square sandwich type things, but I’ve always loved strawberry ice cream that had the actual pieces inside

How funny, I was quite the opposite- I always tried to scoop only the strawberry out when Neopolitan came around. Actually, I’m still that way!

One of my greatest accomplishments while working at Williams Sonoma was acquiring an ice cream maker. Love it and love trying new recipes such as this one!

Wow! That first picture is Ah-Ma-Zing!! And, I am so excited I am not the only one who embraced the strawberry ice cream-meets-adulthood conversion/transition. It used to make me SO cranky when I was little! lol

Delicious!

This strawberry ice cream looks lovely… I have been saving up my egg yolks in the fridge and hadn’t decided what flavor of ice cream to make. Now I just need to see if I can find some fresh strawberries!

I don’t like strawberry ice cream either. Maybe I’ll try it this season though, considering it converted a fellow hater.

This is SO true! I never liked strawberry ice cream until I was an adult! My husband has always loved it — this post is just the encouragement I need to make it!
Thanx for the post. The ice cream looks amazing! (and it’s eatin’ seasonal!)
