I haven't made ice cream in many years but will be making a couple batches for the 4th of July.

Is there a great standard base/ custard or are most recipes flavor-specific?

This rocky road recipe is what I make the most.

Philadelphia style doesn't have eggs, its close to soft serve in texture, make sure you get the milk powder.

Classic custard if that's more your style.

Alton Brown's 9-8-3-2-1 recipe is solid for a richer ice cream.

Stella Parks at Serious Eats made several no-churn recipes that are supposed to be very good.
