Ever wondered how to make ice cream without too much fuss? Most simple ice creams require only a few ingredients - not even an ice cream maker! Once you understand the basics, you can start experimenting with inventing your own ice cream flavors.

Ingredients

Simple ice cream

• 2 cups (475 milliliters) of whole milk
• 2 cups (475 milliliters) of heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ½ to ¾ cup (115-170 grams) white granulated sugar
• ½ to ¾ cup (120-180 milliliters) seasonings, such as chocolate syrup, caramel, or peanut butter (optional)
• ¾ up to 1 cup (130 - 175 grams) of filling, such as: chocolate chips or crumbled cookies (optional)

Full and creamy ice cream

• 2 cups (475 milliliters) of heavy cream
• 397 grams of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Filling: chocolate chips, marshmallows, etc. (optional)

Banana ice cream

• 4 or 5 bananas, peeled and frozen
• Peppermint or vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)
• Handful of dark chocolate chips or strawberries (optional)

Coconut milk ice cream

• 3 ½ cups (820 milliliters) of whole coconut milk
• 1/3 to ½ cup (115 to 175 grams) of honey or agave nectar
• 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract

To step

Method 1 of 4: Making basic ice cream

1. Pour the milk, whipped cream, vanilla and sugar into a blender. If you plan on adding liquid extras like chocolate syrup, do it now.
   • Add smoothie fillings such as chocolate syrup.
2. Pour the mixture into a freezer suitable container. Cover the container with a lid or a sheet of plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
3. Leave the mixture in the freezer for 6 to 8 hours. For lighter ice cream, stir the mixture every hour.
4. Serve the ice cream with an ice cream scoop and put the rest back in the freezer. The ice cream can be kept in the freezer for about 2 weeks.

Method 2 of 4: Make full and creamy ice cream

1. Freeze the mixture for 4 to 6 hours and serve. Once it has become ice cream, you can scoop it into dessert bowls with an ice cream scoop. If there is any left, put it back in the freezer.

Method 3 of 4: Make banana ice cream

1. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Every ice cream maker will be different, so make sure to follow the directions for your specific machine.
   • If you don't have an ice cream maker, put the ice in a freezer container and put it in the freezer for 6 to 8 hours. Stir it every hour with a spoon. Keep in mind that the ice cream won't be that creamy.
2. then put the ice cream in a freezer container and put it in the freezer for at least one hour. However, four to six hours is recommended. This allows the ice to "ripen". It improves texture and taste.
   • If you do not use an ice cream maker, you can remove the ice from the freezer after the freezing period.
3. Serve the ice cream with an ice cream scoop and keep the rest in the freezer. If the ice is too hard, leave it on the counter for about 15 minutes. The ice will keep in the freezer for about one or two weeks.

Tips

• To make peppermint ice cream, add a few drops of a green food coloring.
• For the ultimate dessert, garnish your ice cream with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles and a maraschino cherry.
• Experiment with adding different fillings such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, chocolate sauce, etc.
• Making your own ice cream is a great way to teach children how to work in the kitchen.
• If the ice cream is too sweet, add a pinch of salt to the mixture before freezing it. The salt will tone down the sweetness.
