The tangy flavor of this buttermilk ice cream pairs beautifully with berry cobblers and fruit pies, but it’s also delicious on its own. Everyone in my family said it reminded them of cheesecake. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and churns to a rich and creamy consistency, without any eggs or cook time.
It’s the perfect way to use up any leftover buttermilk you have sitting in the fridge.
I own several ice cream makers, but my hands-down favorite is this Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.
Homemade Buttermilk Ice Cream Recipe
This recipe makes approximately 1-1/2 quarts of ice cream.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
The price of vanilla extract has skyrocketed in recent years. Learn how to make your own for a fraction of the cost.
What You Do:
Combine all the ingredients in a large measuring bowl. Whisk, until the sugar dissolves into the liquids.
Pour your buttermilk ice cream base into an ice cream maker.
Churn following the manufacturer’s instructions. It’ll have a soft-serve consistency when it’s done.
If you prefer hard-scoop ice cream, transfer it to a freezer-safe container (a metal loaf pan, pie plate or brownie pan works well), and freeze for two hours, or longer.
Scoop your buttermilk ice cream and enjoy!
It goes perfectly with my crockpot cobbler and my cobbler in a jar.
