There’s no need to run out and buy an ice cream maker if you don’t have one, either. There are some non-ice cream maker techniques for creating the same result; it just takes longer. Here is a good link for 6 different ice cream making techniques that do not require an ice cream maker, and several of the recipes included here do not require one as well- Six Ways to Make Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Machine.
16 Mouth-Watering Homemade Ice Cream Recipes
Making your own ice cream is easy, delicious, and can actually be a lot of fun too! Whether you are dusting off the ice cream machine or going with a no-churn recipe, there are a few tips I want to share.
- Always use cold ingredients – Regardless of which method you are going with, the ingredients should be as cold as possible.
- Turn on the ice cream machine early. It’s vital to make sure that the ice cream machine motor is running before you start adding in ingredients. Otherwise, the machine could be damaged.
- Full-fat is the way to go. While there may be some recipes that don’t require full-fat ingredients, you’ll find when using full-fat, the ice cream is way creamier. Plus, fat keeps the ice cream from melting so fast.
- Coconut milk is a replacement for sweetened condensed milk. Keep in mind, if you make the swap, your ice cream is going to taste like coconut (if you don’t add other flavors). But this is a great way to cut back on sugar.
