How to make ice cream using ice cream maker

You don't need a fancy ice cream maker to make ice cream at home. All you need is a plastic baggie and 15 minutes. Top with any of your favorite topping and enjoy homemade ice cream instantly! If we had known making your own ice cream was this easy we would have started making it a long time ago! 

To customize you can change up the extract or add in a little chocolate syrup before you start shaking. We also love folding in chopped Oreos or Reeses after. If you want your ice cream a little firmer, place it in an airtight container in the freezer before serving.

How do you use an ice cream maker?

With a traditional ice cream maker machine, you simply pour your chilled ice cream mixture into the machine's pre-frozen container and press go. The machine will do all the mixing and churning for you, turning your cream mixture into soft-serve ice cream. Then, let it set in the freezer overnight for the perfect scoop.

How long do you churn ice cream in an ice cream maker?

In an ice cream maker, it takes around 20-45 minutes to churn ice cream. This is assuming you've already frozen the bowl, which alone can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. If you're planning to make ice cream in the next day, be sure to put yours in the freeze right now!

How do you add a mix to ice cream maker?

The first is to add them while the ice cream is still churning. Add your ice cream mix-ins just before your ice cream is finished. They only need to mix for about a minute. Or, once your ice cream is complete, use a large spatula to gently fold the ingredients into your ice cream.
