Tips
- Make sure you use really cold heavy whipping cream. Store it at the back of your refrigerator for best results.
- Put your mixing bowl in the fridge or freezer for a little bit before, as well. The colder your bowl and ingredients are, the more air will be trapped in your ice cream for a lighter, creamier finish.
- Your freezer’s coldest area is probably in the back. Store your ice cream there for a quicker freeze and to store.
Vanilla Ice Cream
Last but certainly not least, here’s the recipe that started it all!
You are going to love this amazing homemade two ingredient no churn vanilla ice cream recipe. Even cooler? It takes just five minutes to make and with only two ingredients – all you need is a freezer!

Julie’s Tips
Tips
- Cold Cream – Make sure the heavy cream is cold before you whip it.

I grew up with my mom’s homemade ice cream too. I have her recipes although I have traded in the milk, eggs and cream for banana based ice cream. Still love creating new flavors though. Loved looking at all the different kinds of ice cream
Oh my gosh, this is an ice cream lovers dream! What a wonderful variety. I will definitely give it a try throughout the summer. I can try one recipe a week and that should cover the entire season. Yum. I love vanilla flavored ice cream, so your two ingredient recipe should be quick and easy to indulge in this wonderful treat. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful collection of ice cream recipes.
I love ice cream, especially if it is a different flavor. I could eat everyone of these flavors and be in heaven! Thank you for sharing on Think Tank Thursday. I scheduled a Facebook share for tomorrow.
Thanks for the recipes! Nothing I like better right now than ice cream.
