the ben & jerry's is a pretty good approximation but you may also want to try their sweet cream base. It uses uncooked eggs but I normally use egg beaters to replace the raw eggs. I think it's eggs, cream and sugar. Then that chills and is frozen in the ice cream maker. It's a totally different texture than cooked custard ice cream or the cream only ones that are frothy like you mentioned.
I've been making ice cream all summer and it's not been good to my waistline.
