Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

I own a whole fleet of ice cream makers – hand-crank, electric crank, compressor, ice cream ball. I even have a soft-serve ice cream machine, but my hands-down favorite is this Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. It couldn’t be any easier to use. Just keep the cylinder in the freezer, and you’ll be ready to make ice cream whenever the mood hits (which is often at my house).

No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

If you don’t own an ice cream maker, make this no-churn vanilla ice cream instead.

Tools You’ll Need:

How to Make Vanilla Extract

I like to use my homemade vanilla extract in this recipe. It gives you that premium vanilla ice cream flavor.

What You Do:

Vanilla Ice Cream Base

In a large bowl, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the heavy cream.

Then, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

It should take around 20 minutes to reach this consistency.

If you’d like to dress up your vanilla ice cream with mix-ins, add up to 1 cup of your preferred mix-in during the last 5 minutes of churning.

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Enjoy your ice cream right out of the churn for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer your ice cream to a covered freezer-safe container, and freeze it for at least 2 hours, if you prefer a hard-scoop consistency.
