Homemade No-Cook Ice Cream Recipe (2024)

Homemade no-cook ice cream is super easy to whip up in any ice cream maker.This recipe is perfectfor the hustle and bustle of summer. The no-cook option doesn’tinclude raw eggs so you don’t have to cook it prior to churning. All you do is mix, dump, churn, and enjoy!

In this post, I’m going to share with you:

A6-quart wood slow-churn electric ice cream makeris used to make our homemade no-cook ice cream. Matt’s great aunt had the ice cream maker. We inherited it from her. She lovedto make homemade ice cream. It’s nice to be able to use her ice cream maker while we reminisce of memories from her life with us.

But keep in mind that since this recipe is eggless, you can easily make homemade ice cream in a bag or with a blender or in a can.

Great memories are made while sitting around an ice cream churn. Whether it’s electrical or hand cranked, everyone remembers the delicious taste of homemade no-cook ice cream. Here’s how to make it.

First, stir all the ingredients together into a large bowl. Then, slowly pour the entire mixture into the ice cream maker canister. Close the lid on top tightly.

Then, place the canister into the ice cream maker. Make sure it is firmly settled into the ice cream maker so you can get the crank or electric part on top correctly.

Next, pack around the canister completely with ice and rock salt. First, a layer of ice. Then, top with a layer of rock salt and repeat until full. Finally, start churning the ice cream. When the churn stops moving, the ice cream is set! And it’s ready to eat.

Keep in mind that the homemade no-cook ice cream MUST BE cold in order to set. If you walk away and the ice melts, you’ll have to start all over.

So, it’s easy to do. I’ve done it. ThinkingI could go do other things while the ice cream is churning. Not a good idea, friends.

Because on extremely hot days, the ice will evaporate and melt too quickly. If more ice isn’t added, the ice cream will not be cold enough. It won’t set.

So, it’s very important to watch the ice cream. But, we all know a watched pot never boils. Watched ice cream doesn’t set any quicker.

Therefore, you needsomething to do while you wait. Read a book while you wait. Hoe the flower bed nearby. Just make sure you are right there to add the ice. If you feel you are going to be side tracked, set a timer to remind you to check.

One tip: Tuck a large beach towel completely around the top of the ice cream maker to keep the ice from evaporating too quickly. The dry towelhelps the ice cream to stay cold. Cold cream will set up quicker.

Enjoy your delicious homemade no-cook ice cream. After you eat thefirst scoop, just pop the left over ice cream into the freezer until you’re ready for more.

Oh, the possibilities. There’s the standard chocolate, caramel and strawberry, but some people like to get really creative with their ice cream.

And that is perfectly ok!

Here’s 10 other great toppings you can try on your ice cream after it’s ready to enjoy:

Again, there’s a million more that you can add to this list. Depending on what you like. One thing I’d like to try is something like jalapeno for that spicy/sweet mix. Hmm…Maybe this summer.

Oh, the possibilities.
