Ice Cream Maker Recipes

Vanilla Ice Cream

Summer is here again and there's lots of fun to be had in making your own homemade ice cream at this time of year. My recommendation? Well it has to be vanilla ice cream - still the most popular ice cream in the world.

As my photo shows, with slices of fresh kiwi fruit, pieces of orange, a dollop of fresh cream, some strawberry sauce and a fresh strawberry on top with a fan wafer to round it all off, vanilla ice cream can be turned into something really special!

Fantastic in ice cream sundaes and ice cream sandwiches as well as the good old ice cream cone.

If you want to make some vanilla ice cream, I have 3 different recipes you can try:

vanilla ice cream 1 ~ vanilla ice cream 2 ~ vanilla ice cream 3

Whichever recipe you choose and whichever way you choose to serve it - such as in a Knickerbocker Glory in the photo which I made at home using vanilla and strawberry ice cream - just enjoy it and have fun.

Ice Cream Top 10

Strawberry ice cream never seems to lose its appeal. For many people it is the symbol of sunny, summer days. Fresh, juicy strawberries are wonderful to eat just on their own of course and with a dollop of cream they make a fantastic dessert but fresh homemade strawberry ice cream is, in to my mind, the perfect end to a meal on a summer's day. Even in between meals, a strawberrry ice cream cone is a real pleasure. If you don't want to use eggs, milk or cream in your recipe, you can always make a strawberry sorbet.

There are many varieties of strawberry and there is currently a resurgence of interest in growing older varieties, including ones that were previously thought 'uncommercial' because they didn't travel well. One such example is the strasberry - one of the most delightful fruits I've ever tasted.

Coming back to ice cream, only vanilla ice cream is more popular than strawberry ice cream - according to my visitor statistics that is - followed by chocolate ice cream, banana, coconut, choc chip, butter pecan, mint choc chip, fresh coffee, honey and green tea ice cream.
