Super Easy Homemade Ice Cream-Eggless

Homemade ice cream can be made in many ways. For me, I have found the best way ever!  I’m talking about an ice cream machine that needs no cranking, no rock salt, and best of all, no chilling the bowl! Yippee! I love homemade ice cream especially since I can control the ingredients that go into it.

Homemade ice cream is the best, especially without rock salt or prechilling.  I wasn’t planning on making a blog post about making homemade ice cream.  Really, how much can you talk about making ice cream? 

Raw Milk Homemade Ice Cream

Making raw homemade ice cream is very easy and a good way to use the extra milk and cream, and especially a good way to use any fruits that are in season. 

We make all our homemade ice cream with raw organic milk and no eggs. I don’t care for the heaviness that eggs make me feel after eating ice cream with eggs. Not to mention, the extra care that needs to be taken when making ice cream with raw eggs.

FAQ About Homemade Ice Cream

Stainless Steel Ice Cream Machine

My number one criterion was to find an ice cream maker that had a stainless-steel bowl. I did a lot of research, watched YouTube videos, and read a lot of reviews before purchasing the one that I found. Even though the paddle on the machine is made of plastic I decided that since the bowl was stainless steel, I could live with the paddle being plastic.

Raw Milk Eggless Homemade Ice Cream

We purchase our raw milk once a week from the farmer’s market.  Since today is a Thursday, I will be picking up more fresh milk from the farmer’s market.  I’d like to use up the milk I have on hand before getting the new milk.

Some ways I use my extra milk are by making butter, cottage cheese, yogurt, and today, ice cream.  I had about 2 pints of fresh strawberries from the garden that I wanted to use for something and since it wasn’t enough for jelly, I thought why not make ice cream since I have extra milk to use?

Herd Share in TN

We are very fortunate in the state of Tennessee because you are allowed to buy into a herd share.  Buying into the herd share means that we are allowed to buy milk from the local farmer.  Also, we are very fortunate that this farmer is certified organic. 

We are going to visit the farm very soon to create a whole blog post about how milk is produced.  Of course, I love the fact that my milk comes from Jersey cows and going into this Jersey girl! I will get into much more after our visit, I can’t wait, I am so excited.

Making Homemade Ice-Cream Without Eggs

It’s very hard for me to create recipes because I take after my mother and my grandmother by “eye-balling” when I cook and bake.  For this recipe, I took the time to measure everything so you will have an exact recipe. If you would like a recipe to make your own moonshine vanilla bean extract, you can find that post Moonshine Extracts Made Easy!

Base Ingredients for Homemade Ice Cream

• 1-1/2 cups milk (12 ounces-370 grams) (I am using raw organic milk)
• 1-1/2 cups cream (12 ounces-360 grams) (I skim the cream from the milk when I get home from the farmers market)
• ¾ cup of sugar (5.3 ounces-150 grams) (I use Sugar in the Raw)
• 1 teaspoon moonshine vanilla bean extract (more if you like it strong)
• A Dash of salt is optional

Extra Ingredients for Homemade Ice-cream

Now here is where you can get creative.  Use fruits that are in season to add to your ice cream.  I have even used frozen fruit.  I grind up the frozen fruit before adding it to the milk mixture. For the next few recipes start with the base ice cream recipe above.

You will need 1 pint (2 cups) of fresh strawberries and or raspberries-washed, hulled, and pureed-add to the basic ingredients base above.  If you would like to make your own strawberry or strawberry-rhubarb jam, you can find out in this post Easy Jams With and Without Pectin.

Basic Steps for Making Homemade Ice Cream

This particular ice cream machine has a 10-minute pre-stir which I always use if using coarse Sugar-in-the-Raw.  After this stirring, set the machine to ice cream mode which is 60 minutes.

Note: the strawberries push the ice cream up to the top and it barely fits but, still works. I read that some say not to worry and I don’t. lol

Containers to Use for Ice Cream

After the machine shuts off after the 60-minute cycle, you will have to decide whether to put all the ice cream in one container or portion it out as I have.  

I am using recycled Oui yogurt jars.  Since the yogurt jars do not have a reusable lid, I am using my Weck jar lids. They stack so nicely in the freezer too. This saves time in spooning it out and helps with portion control.

Homemade Frozen Yogurt Recipe

I make yogurt all the time using my Instant Pot or just on the just the counter and towel method using raw milk I get from a local farmer. But you certainly can use yogurt from the grocery store. Making this frozen goodness only requires 3 simple ingredients. Plain yogurt, honey, and an extract of your choice.

Directions for Frozen Yogurt

1. Place all the cold ingredients in the stainless steel ice cream bowl
2. Use the setting for yogurt or sorbets
3. Eat immediately or freeze
4. It is best to freeze in individual glass jars for portion control and ease of serving

How to Make a Simple Syrup Recipe

To make a simple syrup, combine equal amounts of sugar and water, bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Even though you have 2 cups of ingredients, you will not end up with two cups of liquid. 

The sugar dissolves then you will end up with approximately one and a half cups of simple syrup.  I always have simple syrup in my refrigerator because I use it when I make kefir.  You may choose to infuse the simple syrup for an added flavor.

It’s essential that the simple syrup should be very cold before adding it to make sorbet.

Storing Simple Syrup

We have a commercial refrigerator with a clear glass door. Since there is always light coming through the door, I use UV glass whenever possible. I also put a label with a number on the lid so I know how to distinguish it from the kefir bottles that I also have stored in the refrigerator.

Homemade Frozen Sorbet

This stainless steel ice cream machine also makes an excellent sorbet! Try using in-season fruits or even buy organic frozen fruits.

• 2 pints of fresh strawberries-washed, hulled, and pureed
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of simple syrup
• ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

2 pints of pureed strawberries should be 3 cups more or less.  Mix the strawberries’ simple syrup in lemon juice together.  You may add more lemon juice or simple syrup to your liking.

This particular ice cream machine has a 10-minute pre-stir setting which I always use.  After this cycle is completed, set the machine for ice cream mode which is 60 minutes just like you did with the basic ice cream recipe.

As an added bonus, this ice cream machine also makes frozen daiquiris, margaritas, and more for those of you that prefer something more adult and cold!

Strawberry Daiquiri

• 2 pints of fresh strawberries-washed, hulled, and pureed
• ½ cup superfine sugar
• ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
• 1 1/3 cups rum

Puree the strawberries and put them in the machine with the rest of the ingredients. Freeze for 30 minutes, more or less will depend on how stiff you like your drinks. This recipe will serve 6 people.

Ice Cream Cookies, Brownies, and Cacao Mousse

I have an excellent recipe for a One-Bowl Molasses Cookie that makes the best homemade ice cream sandwich cookies. You should at least give it a try, yum!

Ice cream goes so well with One-Bowl Brownies too, so why not whip up a batch while the homemade ice cream is churning? It is such a treat, seconds are always allowed in our home!

Really kick it up with chocolate overload and whipped cream made from raw heavy cream Cacao mousse recipes with whipped cream.

Waffles and Homemade Ice Cream for Dessert

If you’re really looking for a treat and you want an amazing healthy combo, my Most Delicious and Fluffiest Sourdough Waffles for 2 makes for the perfect cone for your ice cream, or even a sandwich!

We absolutely love having our sourdough waffles for breakfast and eating the leftovers at night as a snack with our homemade ice cream! Try lightly heating the leftover sourdough waffles in a toaster oven, air-fryer, or in beehive oven as we have. Then, add the ice cream immediately to the warmed waffle. I have to admit, it’s better than any dessert I have ever had! (well, almost, I have so many I adore)!

Ice Cream Alamode

Ice Cream goes with so many desserts. I almost forgot my favorite way to use ice cream. On apple crisps and cobblers. I will have to create a post for them too! Try it on Super moist Pound Cake, the recipe and printable PDF are found on the blog, use the link.

Sourdough Apple Danish Aebleskiver

Even though I usually make these for breakfast, I do love Aebleskiver as a snack, especially served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. You can find the recipe on Sourdough Apple Danish Aebleskiver.

In Conclusion for Homemade Ice Cream

I love homemade ice cream any time of the year. It makes for a delicious dessert even during the winter months of the year. If you’d like to know more about the meaning of Ice Cream and how it was founded, check out what Wiki has to say!

If I add strawberry jam to the milk mixture, the sugar is reduced to half a cup or so. The benefit of making homemade ice cream is that you can control the ingredients.

Don’t forget about making frozen fruit popsicles that can be wholesome and good for you. Try adding fresh fruit or even a jam inside the stainless steel popsicle freezer container.
