Sorry friends, but the best way to make ice cream at home is make a custard (with eggs) on the stovetop, then chill art and churn it. Once you experience the one true ice cream method, you’ll never go back to that no-churn silliness. Here are all my favorite old-fashioned ice cream recipes to make and enjoy this summer.

How long does homemade ice cream last in the freezer?
Homemade ice cream is best enjoyed within a week or two of making it. After that, it can start to develop ice crystals and lose its creamy texture. But who are we kidding? It probably won’t last that long anyway!
Why is my homemade ice cream icy?
This can happen if your ice cream base isn’t cold enough before churning, or if it’s not churned for long enough
What if I don’t have an ice cream maker?
It’s worth it to get one! Just look for a very basic model. The newer styles will chill everything for you, but they’re quite expensive. A simple ice cream machine will have an insert that you have to pre-freeze, but that style is affordable and will last a long time.
Homemade ice cream is just as (or more) delicious as the store. It’s such a fun activity to make with kids and adults because everyone loves it! With just simple ingredients, you can have a delicious treat this summer. Enjoy!
