Making Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker

This book contains several recipes for homemade ice cream. An ice cream maker has always been a “we will see” type of kitchen equipment; it is not ubiquitous. Some models of ice cream makers are inexpensive, but most people don’t want to bother when they can buy ice cream from the supermarket. I want you to enjoy my ice cream recipes without having to buy another appliance, so here is how to make this frozen treat at home, completely by hand.

The key to ice cream making is to create a custard that when frozen produces a scoopable, crystal-free dessert.
