    Homemade Ice Cream

    Homemade ice cream has been around since around the second century B.C.. It's no wonder that there are many variations on how to make it.

    Now, people even make ice cream in a bag and call it a science project. That's what I call school!

    No Churn Ice Cream Flavor Varieties

    What are your favorite homemade ice cream flavors?

    Remember the old 38 flavor ice cream shops? Making ice cream at home can mean developing many fun and unique flavors to suit your personal taste.

    Our Red, White and Blue Ice Cream 4th of July dessert is a traditional vanilla flavor. You could also mix things  up by using a different flavor. Try a flavored extract or a drop or two of a food safe essential oil like peppermint, bubblegum or cotton candy.

    You can also use natural ingredients to flavor your ice cream.

    We've mixed up so many flavors of no-churn ice cream. Take a look at 18 of our favorite no-churn ice cream flavors.

    How to Make No-Churn Ice Cream in Easy-to-Follow Steps
