Do you want to know a secret? Creating homemade ice cream doesn’t have to be an arduous process.
It’s true, ice cream makers give your sweet desserts great texture, and the machines are usually pretty time efficient. Don’t get us wrong – we love the satisfying feeling that comes from watching all your ingredients fold together as that frozen canister spins! But you can often forge flavor-filled homemade ice creams without other appliances.
We compiled eight homemade ice cream recipes, most of which you can make by tossing a ball around, plugging in a blender, shaking a bag or rattling some pots and pans!
