You may think it would be difficult to successfully make ice cream even when you don’t have an ice cream maker, but that’s not true. Instead, there are several steps you can follow that will allow you to create some pretty good ice cream for eating at home. Oh, and you can choose your flavours, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker? How is it even possible to achieve this? Well, let’s walk through the steps you need to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ice cream machine just makes things happen faster and easier. However, they weren’t always around, and homemade ice cream pre-dates an ice cream machine, so all is not lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Ice Cream With a Packet Mix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to make homemade ice cream is to use an ice cream mixture. These are easy to buy, and everything is there together. All you need to do is to follow some basic instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a great way to get the ice cream base. However, there are various ice cream recipes that could be well worth checking out. So do some research, get creative, and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Stirring and Freezing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you plan to use the mixture as the ice cream base, you must mix it in a large bowl. And find a container where you will pour the mixture to allow it to freeze. Some people use a baking tin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to keep the mixture in the freezer for around 90 minutes<\/strong> before tackling the next step in making homemade ice cream without a device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Whisk Until Stiff Peaks Form<\/h3>\n\n\n

When the 90-minute mark has been reached, you need to take the mix out and move on to the next step. The key here is in the whisking<\/strong>. It should create stiff peaks in the mix that is smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, you need to use a sturdy whisk and make sure there are no frozen pieces or ice crystals<\/strong>. You want to gently fold the mixture and scrape down the side of whatever container you are using to make sure everything is well-blended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, put it back in the freezer and check it again after around 45 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: More Whisking and Scraping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You need to repeat this process every 30 minutes and do so for a few hours. You should notice that the ice cream is becoming stiffer and more frozen with each step, and that’s a good sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a couple of hours, you should end up with something that has a soft-serve consistency. The texture will only be achieved if you keep on whisking and scraping at those intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you like your ice creams to be thicker, allow them to freeze for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When making ice cream without an ice cream maker<\/a>, it will take around a day<\/strong> to firm up in the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Fresh Homemade Ice Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But what happens if you don’t want to use a special ice cream mix? You can still do so with a few ingredients you won’t even think it’s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should also be noted that we are talking about homemade ice cream without churning it<\/strong>, so that will make the process a whole lot easier. No-churn ice cream means you don’t have to mix it continuously, as an ice cream maker would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
