The Ultimate Ice Cream Recipe Roundup

I'm ready for summer with over 60 ice cream recipes, all compiled in this handy round up! Many of these recipes are free of refined sweeteners or dairy.

Summer is my favourite season, but it whirls by so fast that sometimes I can hardly soak it in before it seeps into autumn.

This year I’m getting a jump on the season by starting summer traditions in May! Although we still get a few cold days here in Michigan, we’re grabbing every opportunity to throw the windows open wide, to wear warm-weather clothes, and to eat the foods of summer.

Last week, we welcomed 90 degrees with ice cream. I made it the old-fashioned way, using a rich custard base and stirring the mixture by hand. I don’t have an ice cream machine, but honestly, you don’t need one. For my custard ice cream base (and the super simple instructions for making ice cream without a machine), check out my guest post at Keeper of the Home.

If you are in the market for a good ice cream maker, though, I asked my blogging friends and several recommended Cuisinart ice cream machines.

We’re going to be eating ice cream all summer long, savoring every flavour of summer while we gather berries in the woods, dance at weddings, say goodbye to Michigan and move into our new cabin in Alabama.

Why not sweeten your summer with a few recipes off of this list? You’ve got a lot more to choose from than Baskin “31” Robbins–and most of these recipes are naturally sweetened, too! Check out the dairy free section for lots of varieties made with coconut milk.

Before we get started, here’s a quick tutorial on How to Make Homemade Ice Cream Like a Boss from Homestead Lady! You might also want to check out my Summer Stuff Pinterest board for more ideas for savouring summer. And don’t forget to visit my post at Keeper of the Home for my personal ice cream recipe! (;
