Making ice cream at home

Ya, realised that we have OTed so much in the bread thread, so decided that it is better to split. :oops: All my fault! :oops:


Yes, would be interesting to see how many machines would fly off the shelves with this thread.

I'm still half-hearted about the machine. So let's see how I will be influenced in this thread to make it 100% FOR the machine.

Been making fresh milk ice-cream without an ice-cream maker.


Need enough ice to line the inside of a large mixing bowl and salt and a medium mixing bowl & whisk to churn the milk.

It’s actually so easy the kids have been making their own ice creams.

Sounds cool! Care to share the steps? Would love to try! Thanks!

300ml Milk

100ml Fresh Cream
40g Sugar

Ice (enough to line the inside of the large bowl)
100g Salt

Place ice cubes evenly into a large bowl
Pour the salt evenly on the ice
Mix the milk, fresh cream and sugar into a smaller bowl and put the smaller bowl into the large bowl.
Whip the mixture using a whisk until slightly foamy
Stop whisking and rotate the smaller bowl fast
Repeat step 3 & 4 until the mixture solidify.

You can try adding different flavours to the ice cream. Or leave it as plain old milk ice-cream and add toppings.

Kool Funz!

Want to try this with DS in the march hols, just for the fun of it. I remember he had this icecream making demo in the science centre on a field trip from his school. But I guess they had used liquid nitrogen.
BTW, how long does the whole process take?

Kids took about 30mins to make the ice-cream. From getting everything ready to measuring, plus a bit of squabbling, to the end product. And it took them less then 10 mins to finish all the ice-cream

WOW this is COOL, Funz!!!!! Thanks for sharing. Will try it with DD during March hols.


Oops, with this method, looks like the Ice Cream machine will not be flying off shelves so soon!

If you already have a Kitchen Aid for baking, you can always buy the ice-cream maker attachment so that you don't need to buy another appliance for making your own ice-cream.


Although making ice-cream would cost the same or more expensive than store-bought ones, you're assured of all the ingredients going into it - no extra preservatives or artificial flavourings that helps keep commerical ice-cream from spoiling.
