Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix well. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated, as this will enhance the flavor of your ice cream.
Step 2
Pour the ice cream base evenly into multiple containers or mixing bowls based on the number of flavors you wish to create. This allows you to customize flavors without any cross-contamination.
Each bowl will serve as a base for different flavors, so be creative and have fun with it!
Step 3
To each bowl of base, add your chosen flavor ingredients: For caramel ice cream, stir in the salted caramel; for chocolate chip, fold in the chocolate shavings; for nutty ice cream, mix in the crushed almonds.
Continue this process with the pear juice, blueberry cheesecake filling, crème brûlée, and fresh strawberries, ensuring each mixture is combined thoroughly.
Step 4
Transfer each flavored mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning time. Typically, it takes about 20-30 minutes to churn until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixtures in containers, stirring every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours.
Step 5
Once churned, pour the ice cream into airtight containers and smooth the tops. Cover with lids and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until solid.
When you are ready to serve, remove from the freezer and allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Enjoy your homemade ice cream collection with family and friends!

Faq
- Can I use regular milk instead of cream?
While you can use milk, cream is essential for that rich, creamy texture ice cream is known for. If you want a lighter version, whole milk can work but will yield a different texture.
- How long should I freeze the ice cream?
For the best results, freeze your ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm. Overnight is even better if you can wait!
- What can I do if my ice cream is too hard?
If your ice cream turns out too hard, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping. This will soften it just enough for easy serving!
- Can I replace sugar with a sugar substitute?
Yes! You can use sugar substitutes like stevia or monk fruit. Keep in mind that different substitutes may impact the final texture and taste.
- What if I don’t have a blender?
No worries! You can mix your ingredients by hand, just ensure everything is well combined. It may require a little more elbow grease, but it will still be delicious!
- How can I enhance the flavors of my ice cream?
Extracts, like vanilla or almond, or mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips can elevate your ice cream to the next level. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
