Tips that make the difference

What separates a recipe that works from one that falls flat.

  • No ice cream maker

    Stir the mixture with a fork every 30 minutes for 3 hours: it stays creamy, with no ice crystals.

  • Sugar doesn't freeze

    It's what keeps ice cream scoopable: don't leave it out, or you'll end up with a block of ice.

  • Take it out before serving

    Take homemade ice cream out of the freezer 10 minutes ahead: it's much easier to scoop.

  • Very ripe fruit

    The riper the fruit, the more flavorful the ice cream, with less added sugar.

Your questions

Can I make ice cream without an ice cream maker?

Yes: a base of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk sets in the freezer without stirring. For classic ice cream or sorbet, stir with a fork every 30 minutes for 3 hours.

How long does homemade ice cream keep?

About 1 to 2 weeks in the freezer, in a tightly sealed container with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface: after that, it loses flavor and forms ice crystals. Never refreeze ice cream that has melted.

Why is my homemade ice cream so hard?

It's short on sugar or fat, or it wasn't stirred enough while freezing. Take it out 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
