So one of the things that I have been dying ti try is how to make ice cream at home without an ice cream maker. Not that I have made ice cream with an ice cream maker mind you but I like to create things with the least amount of tools possible. This recipe is so easy to make and it is a great beginning recipe that you can add to, that makes a creamy and light ice cream.

My kids love the mix ins of course so we make so many different varieties. My favorite is probably the mint chip ice cream. Simply add 2 teaspoons peppermint extract and chocolate chips. Yum!
