I expect the thickened cream in the supermarket is not the right thing.. that's just pre-whipped right? I'm just looking at basic ice vanilla ice cream recipes, but most of the cooked ones seem to call for thickened cream. Anyone have any suggestions on altering the quantity if I use normal cream? Or have a reliable custard base recipe? Thanks.

Thickened cream contains additives and I don't use it. It is not simply whipped cream.
Here is a standard recipe for Crème Anglaise, which is the custard base of ice cream. Use double cream if you can find it, otherwise a good quality single cream such as Lewis Road or Kapiti Organic.
250 ml whole milk
250 ml cream
1 vanilla bean, split
5 egg yolks
1/2 c caster sugar
Bring milk, cream and vanilla pod to a simmer in a heavy based pan. Remove vanilla bean and set aside. In a bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar, whisk in hot liquid, return to pan with vanilla bean. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes or until it thickens (82 - 85 C). Strain into a cold bowl. Scrape in the insides of the vanilla pod and stir.
