Is there anything more essential to summer than homemade ice cream? There’s nothing like the cold, creamy taste on a hot day. I remember my dad getting us an ice cream maker for our wedding and thinking, “we’ll never make ice cream!” But he refused to get anything on our registry – the man is seriously anti-convention – but it (along with a Le Creuset Dutch oven and cast iron skillet) has been one of our most used gifts.
It’s now a tradition to come up with wild flavors for family birthday parties. We’ve had everything from the ultimate mint chocolate chip (that was for me) to mango and ginger and some super yummy amaretto. If the ingredients are fresh, you can’t go wrong! Want more ice cream ideas? Read on!
It’s crazy how many ways there are to make ice cream. Fruit? Chocolate? Booze? All pretty darn tasty. Here are 50 homemade recipes guaranteed to make summer more yummy.

Good post. I will be going through a few of these issues as well..
Hello, I am new to pininterest and also to this website which looks fabulous. Can anyone help me? Its a long shot but I have been searching high and low for a recipe for homemade ice cream that is simple and does not require an ice cream machine. It was recently posted on fb with a picture of a loaf pan filled with I believe vanilla ice cream and a hand scooping. If anyone knows of this recipe or one that is just as easy please help
So many ice creams, so little time!
I make a lot of ice cream in the summer and it seems the last is always my current favorite and this year that would be what I called Mounds Bar Ice Cream…coconut ice cream filled with more coconut and choc ships. I made a gallon. It wasn’t enough.
My all time favorite ice cream though is Butter Brickle, no wait…chocolate gelato with bourbon, hold on…see, there I go. I LOVE THEM ALL!!
Thanks for including me in your super-yummy roundup!
I just loved that ice cream idea!
