Easy Homemade Ice Cream without a Machine!

Now that summer is almost here, but living in the Seattle area you wouldn't know it by the recent fall-like weather we have been having. I am very hopeful that we WILL have a summer with sun and a little heat. If we make it there or not, you can enjoy this very simple recipe for ice cream that I  make on a regular basis now. It is really good and the best idea for ice cream I found from one of my favorite blogs from Kevin&Amanda's amazing blog!!

I have made this a few times, tweaking the flavors and coming up with combinations that are too good for words!! If you check out the blog link above they have some amazing flavors like "cinnamon bun" and "crispy cream doughnut" YES!!! I know, YUMMY!!!!!! Try out some of your favorites, maybe take a day when the kids are home and have them come up with a few combinations of their own. Key lime pie, vanilla birthday cake...so many!!





For this batch I decided to raid my pantry and come up with a "trail mix" inspired flavor, I also added some vanilla bean extract too. I chopped it all up and added to the ice cream mix.

*Salted peanuts
*sweetened coconut
*raisins
All measurements were just a small handful. You want enough to equal about 1 1/2 cups total.

Freeze as directed on the original directions.

I will do some flavors next time with fresh fruit, although it will not make it very health but it will sure taste good!! Blueberries w Graham crackers to simulate Blueberry pie, or blackberries with a drop biscuit pieces for a cobble flavor. The possibilities are just limited to your imagination.

Enjoy
