Buttermilk Ice Cream

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 may have sitting in the fridge.
