My husband received an ice-cream maker for Father's Day in 2000. Why? Because the kids were sure that my husband wanted an ice-cream maker. A red one. And it turned out that they were right; my husband loves making ice-cream. He often insists on bringing it to our friends parties so everyone can eat real ice-cream. He has even brought it on vacation. Seriously. When I say he is our official ice-cream maker, I really mean he is the self-appointed official ice-cream maker.
Have you made your own ice-cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet before? It really isn't that difficult and the difference in flavor will amaze you! Here are a few recipes that I've found to get you started:

July 17, 2011 at 8:27 amIt sounds like wonderful combinations, but I really don’t like ice cream. I know, I know-I love milk, butter, cheese-but not ice cream nor yogurt.

July 17, 2011 at 6:41 pmcan I go “facebook” on you and just say, “like!”?

July 17, 2011 at 11:32 amWhat a lovely round up! I shall spend a quite bit of time looking at them all! BTW The Toffee Ice Cream is actually Frozen Yogurt Cream but it tastes the same anyway or just about. Thank you for including my desserts and thank you for making it easy to view everyone else’s!

July 17, 2011 at 11:49 amI moved it to the frozen yogurt section. I find frozen yogurts so delicious that I can rarely distinguish them from ice-creams when tasting the end product.
Vicky says
July 18, 2011 at 10:09 amI can’t either but sometimes the honey taste can come through if you don’t use a mild one. All the frozen yogurt recipes I post can be made with yogurt made from half Double Cream and half Whole Milk for a richer flavour. I’m thinking of making the raspberry ripple frozen yogurt with half and half for our family birthday weekend (most of us have birthdays in July and early August!).

July 17, 2011 at 5:17 pmGreat round up, thanks so much! I appreciate the dairy free, dairy and I have parted ways here lately.

July 17, 2011 at 5:48 pmI think I’ll just sit here a spell and cool off looking at the titles of all these treats!

July 17, 2011 at 6:44 pmThanks, Alea, for linking to my favorites…I linked back to you, but since my traffic is “small town” compared to your “big-city interstate,” you may not see a lot coming from my neighborhood! 😉
We made homemade ice cream two weeks in a row, so I think this week I need to take a break…kind of counter productive to all the work I’m doing with no bread or coffee with creamer! I will be checking back someday, though, and trying some of your recipes…caramel sauce #1, I think!

I thought of you tonight as we were grilling veggies. 🙂

July 18, 2011 at 1:53 pmOh I was so sad because we don’t have a ice cream maker and then I saw the link to make it without the machine. Making ice cream tonight! Thanks

Alea says
July 18, 2011 at 2:14 pmYeah! Did you see all the variations she has for making ice-cream without an ice-cream maker? They all sound good!

June 8, 2012 at 4:56 amI do think we’re going to have to get ourselves an ice cream maker… Thanks for sharing so many recipes! I’m off to check out the hot fudge & caramel sauces you linked to. NUM!
April @ The 21st Century Housewife says
June 14, 2012 at 3:20 amWhat a great resource, Alea! Your timing is perfect too, as I’m about to dust off my ice cream maker for the summer 🙂
Beth @ Aunt B's Kitchen says
June 14, 2012 at 12:21 pmNice collection of recipes Alea! I’ve pinned it. I’m sure I’ll be referring to it throughout the summer months.
