Rachel- I have the same problem. Even if it is butter, it is still unpleasant. I am going to see if changing the brand of cream and/or churning it a little less will make a difference.
Here is my Recipe for Vanilla Ice Cream, try this one and see if u like it No Cook Vanilla Ice Cream 5 eggs 2 1/2 cups Sugar 5 Cups Milk(Regular) 1 quart Heavy Cream(I use 5 cans of Evaporated Milk; Pet or Carnation) 2 Tablespoon Vanilla Flavor 1/2 teaspoon Salt Directions: Beat Eggs until light and fluffy with electric or hand mixer Gradually add sugar and continue beating until mixture is stiff. Add remaining ingredients and beat until mixed thoroughly. Pour into a 4 or 6 gallon freezer can and freeze by the freezer's directions.
Are you sure it is a waxy substance? A Friend of mine made me a very rich batch of chocolate ice cream, it had something Sticking to the spoon, it seen to coat the inside of my mouth and on closer inspection we figured out it was butter, apparently the cream or half and half What ever she used was so rich with turning the ice cream it actually turned to butter. The next time you make ice cream see if it doesn't have a real buttery taste.
