The only ice cream we make is no churn ice cream: it’s easier and tastes just as good as the real thing! Making ice cream at home can be really easy without a machine – you only need 2 ingredients for the base recipe and a whole lot of imagination for the rest.

This is a list of my favorite no churn ice cream recipes – there is everything on this list that you’ll see in the grocery store – and more!

  1. Fantastic round up, Dorothy! I’ve debated getting an ice cream machine. I think this is even more reason to wait on that. This is so making me want summer to get here already!

  2. Ice cream is probably my all around favorite treat. Even though we have an ice cream maker I’ve never used it so these are perfect! There is no way I could pick one favorite though. No way. Who knew there were so many options?! I can’t wait to try some, thank you SO much for rounding them all up! Our 85 degree weather just became good in my mind.

  3. Such good timing Dorothy! The kids just finished up the last of the ice cream in the freezer and I was going to look for something new to make tomorrow. Hmmmm, Spicy Chocolate or Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl or Butter pecan, or Lemon or Key Lime….I hate making decisions, maybe I’d be better off just putting them in the order I’ll be making them!

  4. No machine needed??!!! YES!! I’m so excited you came up with this round up. I get really jaded when I see an icecream recipe and an appliance is needed. You get 2 gold stars, Dorothy!

  5. I am a machine kind of person. Love my machine but that Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream wants me to ditch it and make this now! Great round up!

    1. Thanks Nancy! I love my machine, but I’m lazy so the easy kind is perfect for me! 🙂

  6. I love this round-up! I’ve always wanted to make my own ice cream, but I have no ice cream maker!

  7. You seriously just made my day with this post, Dorothy!! I don’t have an ice cream maker and am always drooling over all the yummy -looking ice cream recipes! I making it my mission to try every single one this Summer : )

    Thanks for sharing!
    xoxo Liz

  8. Wow!! These all looks so amazing Dorothy!! What an awesome round-up and thank you so much for linking my chocolate avocado ice cream!! I can not wait to try some of these!! I am on a HUGE ice cream kick!

  9. what an incredible ice cream collection…totally fitting seeing as how I am NOT liking this heat!

      1. I’ve never used an ice cream maker with easy ice cream. You can try, but there is no need!
