Making ice cream at home is easy if you have an ice cream maker, but it’s just as easy without one.
Ice cream machines are certainly magical, but they do have their drawbacks: They can cost hundreds of dollars, and the containers take up valuable freezer space while you chill the ice cream before churning.
The alternative is to buy ice cream at the grocery store, but they often contain ingredients that are hard to pronounce and, frankly, aren’t always as tasty as the more imaginative flavors you can make yourself.
Below are 19 no-churn ice cream recipes that you can make without an ice cream maker. The science behind these recipes has been adapted to eliminate the churn step and are a little different from the traditional custard recipes you may be used to. They are even easier to make because they usually have no eggs, but instead use sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream in the base. Give them a try!
