If you look at our ice cream recipes on this site, you’ll notice that they all have one thing in common – this ice cream base. It’s the start of all great ice creams. Once you’ve got this recipe down, all you have to do is add whatever flavoring you like to change it up in 100s of different ways.We use our ice cream maker for this recipe, so be sure to put the barrel in the freezer a day ahead so it’s good and frozen by the time you want to use it.» Here are 22 of our favorite ice cream maker recipes. We think this Chocolate chocolate chip ice cream is to die for!JUMP TO:This ice cream uses a custard base, so it has egg yolks in it.We use this same ice cream base for chocolate chocolate chip ice cream, cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip, and any other flavor of ice cream we make. It’s an easy base and it tastes great and very creamy.The other great part about using this base for everything is that it starts to become second nature to make it. There are quite a few steps to making custard-style ice cream, but it’s not hard, and it’s very much worth the effort.In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, salt, and half the sugar. Stir the mixture constantly as you bring it just to a simmer. Remove from heat.In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar just until combined.&nbsp;You need to temper the eggs, so they don’t cook. Tempering is just bringing the egg mixture up to a higher heat in a slow way so the egg doesn’t cook from flash heat. It will be easier to temper the eggs if you have allowed the eggs to come to room temperature before you started.Slowly stir 1/2 cup of the milk mixture in a drizzle into the egg mixture. If you do this slowly enough, the eggs won’t begin to resemble scrambled eggs.Pour that egg mixture back into the saucepan with the milk mixture. Heat over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Do not boil the mixture. If the mixture gets too hot and boils you could end up with scrambled eggs.Remove the pot from the heat.Pour the mixture into a bowl or container. To avoid putting the hot mixture in the refrigerator, you can chill the mixture over another bowl filled with ice for 10-15 minutes to cool it down first. Just get a second bowl that’s similar size or larger than the one your mixture is in. Fill it with ice and set the bowl with the custard over it. When it’s cooled down a bit, refrigerate it for at least two hours, until it’s cold.After the ice cream base mixture has completely cooled, stir in the half and half or heavy cream (whichever you’ve decided to use) and vanilla. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and churn according to the manufacturer’s directions.Pour into a freezer container or loaf pan and store in the freezer.This ice cream recipe is made in the ice cream maker. It’s an easy way to churn the ice cream mixture to make it freeze faster and make it super creamy, so we prefer it.However you can still make it without an ice cream maker. At the end, mix in only half of the heavy cream and reserve the rest. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. When ready to eat, add the ice cream cubes to the blender with the remaining heavy cream and blend until smooth.Eggs add flavor, prevent ice crystallization, and create a smooth and creamy texture, so they are an important ingredient for delicious ice cream. You can make ice cream without eggs. Here is a chocolate ice cream recipe that doesn’t include eggs.You can use any flavoring or fruit you want in this ice cream. I love the aromatics and flavor of fresh ripe peaches, but you could also use strawberries, blueberry, or mango, plus any other flavoring you like, such as chocolate, peanut butter, Snickers, etc.If you’re really wanting to make great ice cream at home, you have to invest in an ice cream maker. I’ve had the same one for many years and it’s never made a bad ice cream.The one I recommend is the Cuisinart 1.5 quart ice cream maker. It comes in a few different colors and it looks neat and tidy. You just have to keep to recipes that are small enough to fit, which shouldn’t be a problem.The Cuisinart ICE-70 Electronic Ice Cream Maker is a slightly more professional model that’s 2 quarts and has an LCD screen and 3 settings plus an improved paddle with faster processing time.50 Homemade Ice Cream Recipes for the Ice Cream Makerfrom votesCranberry Cream Cheese Bread with Walnutsfrom votesDelicious Chocolate Orange Cakefrom votesChocolate Lava Mug CakeSince you made it to the end of this article, you may enjoy these related recipe!Pin it!

Nice and creamyDecember 24, 2022 at 4:46 pmReplyTommy WilliamsonJust wondering how much ice cream does this recipe make … such as 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon? It may have said but if it did I didn’t see it. If it did I apologize for not seeing it! I love making homemade and always look for new/different recipes! I have 3 different freezers … ALL hand cranked! Two one gallon and one two gallon freezer! I think the ice cream freezes better in a hand cranked freezer!ThanksTommyApril 29, 2023 at 5:12 amReplyJMSTry adding 1 tablespoon cocoa and 1 tablespoon instant coffee to the milk while it cooks.
