One of my summer jobs in high school was working as an ice cream scooper at a local ice cream shop. The place is a local favorite, so on hot days we would often have lines out the door of customers wanting scoops of Michigan-made ice cream. Even though it was busy, sticky job, I have a soft spot in my heart for ice cream on a cone in the summertime.
That is why I was so geeked last year when I discovered that you can make homemade ice cream without a big bulky ice cream machine. This recipe has a similar base as my friend Viv’s margarita ice cream recipe, (which you MUST try), and just requires the means to whip heavy cream. I used a stand mixer, but you can also a handheld mixer or a whisk if you have triceps of steel. Beyond that, it’s just a matter of adding in ingredients to flavor your ice cream to your liking.

This looks yummy! And I’m so glad it doesn’t require an ice cream maker (because we don’t have one). Thanks for the recipe!
