Make your own ice cream without an ice cream machine: 5 summer recipes

You can make your own ice cream without an ice cream maker. You can use regional, seasonal and organic ingredients and make vegan ice cream as well. We’ll show you how it’s done.

Make your own ice cream – how does it work?

Ice is basically nothing more than a frozen liquid. But to prevent it from freezing into a hard block like an ice cube, it is stirred regularly. This breaks up the ice crystals and makes the ice cream creamy. That’s what an ice cream maker does: it cools the ice cream mass and constantly stirs it.

But you can also make ice cream yourself without an ice cream machine. Here’s how it goes:

1. Mix the ingredients according to the recipe and pour into a freezer container.
2. Place the container in the freezer.
3. Check from time to time whether the mass starts to freeze.
4. Stir the ice cream mass vigorously with a whisk or fork as soon as the first ice crystals form. Then chill the ice again.
5. Repeat the previous step three to four times after half an hour.
6. If the ice cream is still too soft after that, let it stand for another hour or two before eating.

If it’s too time-consuming for you, but you don’t want to do without homemade ice cream, you can of course also use an ice cream machine. It might be worth buying them with friends or neighbors and swapping them back and forth.
