Air.... The cream has to be stirred. You could try stirring it every so often until frozen.

I do stir it a lot during freezing but it still ends up a frozen brick!

I dont want to use alcohol. Is the gelatine used instead of the alcohol?

The alcohol lowers the freezing point. It's non-negotiable for this method.

You could try what my dad does: whip the bejeezus out of the custard, put it in the freezer 30 minutes, whip again, put it in the freezer 30 minutes, whip again, put in the freezer 1 hour, repeat until frozen.

This sounds like the same principle as Choco outlined in one of his ice cream recipes. Save a portion (I think it was half) of the cream and whip it separately and fold it in just before you churn the ice cream. This incorporates air more easily.

I saw Jeni's in the store today- $15 a pint. For that price you'd be better off just buying an ice cream maker and making your own.

Why do people think Jeni's is primal friendly? Check out the cookbook, most of her ice creams have slightly weird stuff like corn syrup, cornstarch, cream cheese, etc. in it. Something like haagen dazs or (better yet) straus creamery ice cream is way cleaner.
