No fancy ice cream maker? No problem! You can make delicious
homemade ice cream without any special gadget or crazy ingredients. All you need is a plastic baggie and 15 minutes (no seriously, that’s it!). It’s fully customizable based on your fave flavors and toppings, so you can truly create your perfect bowl of ice cream right at home. Scoop directly out of the bag (or place it in an airtight container in the freezer before serving if you like yours a little firmer), and enjoy your favorite customizable homemade ice cream recipe in less time than it takes to run out and grab a pint.
Flavor variations.
We’re making plain vanilla ice cream in this recipe, but your options don’t stop there. If you want to flavor your ice cream, you can change up the extract with whatever you prefer (peppermint! strawberry!), or add in a little chocolate syrup before you start shaking for a bowl of chocolate ice cream goodness.
