How to make ice cream with an ice cream maker? ›

It's easy! Simply make any ice cream recipe base, pour the ice cream base into an ice cube tray, and then freeze overnight. The next day, add the ice cream ice cubes to a blender, and pulse to blend until you reach an ice cream texture. Add a splash of plant-based milk if needed.

Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made from milk or cream that has been flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit, such as strawberries or peaches. Food colouring is sometimes added in addition to stabilizers.

Besides not needing an ice cream machine to make this, there are other differences between no-churn ice cream and ice cream made in a machine. One difference is that no-churn ice creams are made without eggs. Another difference is the use of sweetened condensed milk in place of granulated sugar.

Combine the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm for 5 minutes, whisking often, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is warmed through. Then, chill the ice cream base. Transfer it to a heatproof bowl, cover, and chill for 2 hours or overnight.

This recipe is enough for one person to make one dish, but you can always scale it up a bit so you can share with friends as well. Don't worry too much if you don't have whole milk or heavy cream. Nearly any milk will work, and you can substitute half-and-half for the cream.

Use a spoon to taste-test the ice cream. If it's too firm, add ¹⁄₂ tablespoon (1.5 tsp) to 1 tablespoon (3.0 tsp) of any liquid ingredient (whole milk or heavy cream) to thin it down. If it's too thin, add ¹⁄₂ tablespoon (1.5 tsp) to 1 tablespoon (3.0 tsp) of nonfat dry milk powder to thicken it up.

Using an offset spatula or butter knife, pop out ice cream cubes. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Pulse cubes with milk until the ice cream is smooth and has the consistency of soft serve. Serve immediately, or return to container and freeze for up to 1 week.

Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

Pour 1 cup of the cream into a saucepan and add the sugar, salt. Scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the pot and then add the vanilla pod to the pot. Warm the mixture over medium heat, just until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the remaining cream, milk, and vanilla.

You can use any ice cream recipe you've been eyeing and have hand-churned ice cream in a single day, even with freezing time. No food processor, but plenty of freezer space? Try the ice bath-and-hand mixer method. This method will take a little more time, but will give you scoop shop-quality ice cream at home.

You can use a hand mixer, immersion blender, or even a very sturdy wooden spoon or spatula and some elbow grease. The Method: Pour your ice cream into an air tight container: I usually use a loaf pan I put inside a large freezer bag or an ice cream container you can buy at the store.

We have the KitchenAid stand mixer ice cream maker attachment (we're obsessed!), and we typically churn the ice cream base for 20 to 30 minutes. This Cuisinart Ice Cream maker is also great.

The churning is necessary because the key to great ice cream is to freeze the custard without allowing ice crystals to develop. Those crystals won't affect the flavor, but they do have an impact on the texture.
