All of the recipes yield approximately 1 quart (960 ml) of ice cream.
One quart of ice cream should serve about 8 people, or make 8 half-cup (120-ml) servings.
All of the recipes will keep for up to 1 week (or so). After about a week, homemade ice cream will begin to form ice crystals and will lose its creamy, smooth texture.
The recipes take 30 minutes or more to complete.
In a hand-crank ice cream maker, it should take about 30 minutes to churn Walt’s Dream.
Make sure the mix is completely cool before churning.
If you prefer super-creamy, soft-serve-style ice cream, feel free to serve it directly from your ice cream maker. If you want your ice cream to be more solid and scoopable—and you have some patience—we recommend freezing overnight, or until the ice cream is completely solid, which will take 8 to 12 hours.
