Home » Roundup

Published: July 1, 2015 | Updated: November 12, 2019 | By Ashlee

I think you guys know by now that I ADORE my ice cream maker! And since today is July 1st, aka the beginning of National Ice Cream Month, I decided I needed to do a round up of recipes you can make in an ice cream maker. You can make Ice cream, Gelato, Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet and Slushies. I seriously use mine at LEAST twice a month year round, and once a week during the summer. I’ve made 6 batches of ice cream in the last 2 months alone (yes I have more recipes to share with you guys, coming up this month)

I hope you guys enjoy this round up as much as I do! I found some really fun recipes that I haven’t even tried yet (although I will be now!!) So many crazy talented food bloggers out there sharing some amazing recipes. I’d love to hear from you guys what other recipes I should include in a round up (I’ll do another one next year). For now enjoy the pretties!

A good homemade vanilla ice cream is my favorite. There is so much you can do with it. I would share with my oldest daughter. She’s great at sharing with her siblings.

Ooo, good question! My favorite flavor of ice cream is Oatmeal Cookie Crunch by Ben & Jerry’s. Unfortunately, it’s in their graveyard of flavors. My next fave is Talenti’s Caramel Cookie Crunch gelato. Mmm, that stuff is like crack!
My fairy cakemother and mentor extraordinaire, Amber Adamson, would be the recipient of the 2nd machine. She has been a huge influence on myself and many other bakers to put ourselves out there and to believe in our abilities. She’s currently without a job and this would really brighten her day. She’s done so much for others, it would be nice to give back to her too.
Thank you for all the yummy flavor recipes and for hosting such a great giveaway! <3

My ice cream maker died last week and I have missed it dearly- so glad I saw this giveaway!
I love to mix Nesquick and mini-marshmallows (the tiny dry ones) in my vanilla ice cream.
I would give the other one to my sister. Unless my brother drops by first 🙂

  I’m sorry I don’t currently have any sherbert or sorbet recipes. I tend to go for the full fat, full cream ice creams. Not much of a fruity person.

FAQs

Are ice cream makers worth it? ›

Can you over mix ice cream in ice cream maker? ›

Here's why: Churning ice cream base is a bit like making whipped cream. You need to churn just enough to make the fat globules stick to the air bubbles and form a protective coating that stabilizes the foam. But too much churning can cause the fat globules to stick to each other, turning the mixture into butter.

When should I add stuff to my ice cream maker? ›

If you have any mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or even alcohol you plan to add, do so in the last several minutes of churning. Gradually pour them in through the opening of the plastic lid. Don't add alcohol before the last few minutes otherwise the ice cream won't churn properly.

Straight to the Point

Our favorite ice cream maker is the Cuisinart ICE-21 1.5-Quart Ice Cream Maker. It's effective, easy to use, and a fraction of the price of most ice cream makers. Plus, it churns delectably creamy ice cream, sorbet, and gelato.

Can I use ice cream maker twice? ›

I have been successful twice at making two batches in a row. But I worked quickly. I had both batches mixed and cold in the fridge. As soon as the first batch was soft serve consistency I put it in a container and into the freezer and quickly put the second batch in without cleaning the freezer bowl.

Is it expensive to make homemade ice cream? ›

But it's important to remember that you're getting enough ingredients to make several batches of ice cream. If you can get 5 gallons out of these ingredients, then you've spent only $3.00 per gallon. That is less expensive than the average store-bought gallon. It can help you stay on track with your grocery budget.

Start the motor first

The bowl is so cold that the mixture will freeze immediately upon contact. You'll want it to already be in motion so that the ice cream won't freeze onto the bowl in a chunk. After about 20-40 minutes (machine depending), you will have creamy, soft ice cream.
