Recipe FAQ

What do I need to make homemade ice cream?

Use either heavy cream or whole milk to achieve a creamy texture. Then sweeten the mixture with sugar! Add extracts like vanilla, chocolate, or fruit puree to create delicious flavors.
You'll need an ice cream maker as well.

What kind of salt for homemade ice cream?

When homemade ice cream, you'll need a specific type of salt called "ice cream salt" or "rock salt." This coarse salt is commonly used in ice cream makers to lower the freezing point of the ice surrounding the ice cream mixture. The lower freezing point helps freeze the mixture more quickly, resulting in a smoother texture.

How long does it take to make homemade ice cream?

The duration for making homemade ice cream may differ based on the chosen method and recipe. When using an electric ice cream maker, it generally takes around 30 minutes to one hour to churn the ice cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
