What if I don’t have an ice cream maker

An ice cream maker is the easiest way to make this – we love our Cuisinart ice cream maker! Churning ice cream is what gives it the creamy, smooth texture. Churning incorporates air, making it light and fluffy, while breaking up ice crystals as they form. Without churning, ice cream would be denser and harder. If you are not in possession of a machine, no problem – you can make this with the no-churn ice cream method. The texture will ultimately be slightly less creamy – but it will still taste amazing! To do this:

Edamame Hummus Watermelon Gazpacho Vegetarian Chocolate Quinoa Chili Coconut Thai Borscht Autumn Sweet Potato Pad Thai Rhubarb Margarita
