Uncooked Homemade Ice Cream
Enjoy a creamy homemade ice cream with a rich vanilla flavor, perfect for quick treats and suitable for all ages, with simple ingredients and easy preparation.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Add evaporated milk and vanilla; mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer container.
- Fill the container with homogenized milk up to the fill line.
- Freeze with an ice cream freezer until firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider substituting half of the homogenized milk with heavy cream. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use whole milk, but it will alter the flavor slightly. Ensure all ingredients are well mixed to prevent clumps of flour. If you're looking for a fun twist, add crushed fruit like strawberries or bananas for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this homemade ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider topping it with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or nuts. It pairs beautifully with Apple Dessert Casserole for a delightful dessert experience. For a refreshing finish, serve alongside fresh fruit or a slice of cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, place a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface of the ice cream before sealing. When ready to enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different flavors instead of vanilla?
Absolutely! You can experiment with other extracts such as almond or mint, or even add cocoa powder for chocolate-flavored ice cream. Just remember to adjust the quantity based on the strength of the flavor you choose.
How long should I freeze the ice cream?
Typically, you should freeze the ice cream until it's firm, which usually takes about 4-6 hours. However, for the best texture, it's ideal to let it freeze overnight.
Can I make this recipe without an ice cream freezer?
Yes, you can make this ice cream without a machine! Simply mix the ingredients, pour them into a container, and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure a creamy texture.
