Summer is here, temperatures are rising, and we are all scrambling for something cold to cool us off. Frozen desserts fly off the shelves at our grocery stores, but why not make some yourself at home? Most of us buy ice cream, popsicles, and sorbets at the store because it is easier and making these frozen treats is something that can look a bit intimidating, but it’s actually easier than you may think.

No churn ice cream recipes start with a base of heavy whipping cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract or vanilla bean. And if you want to be creative, just add any of your favorite flavors or ice cream add ins. As for equipment, all you will need is a stand mixer or hand mixer, resealable container and plastic wrap.
