I used to have an icecream making machine may yaers ago, and used it often.My favourite was Run and Raisin, I just found my icecream cook book the other day and wandering how many people make homemade icecream.I haven't since I donn't have a machine nymore, I know you can without them, just using the freezer but I haven't tryed.

I havent made ice-cream in a very long time. I never had a ice-cream maker so I had to use the freezer method. But I have to admit, there is nothing like home-made!!! :-)

i actually don't make icecream from scratch any more,but what i do now is buy a cheap vanilla icecream and defrost it slightly and add things to it.like crunchy bars or oreo cookies and sort of make different flavours,then refreeze it.it sometimes is a lot cheaper than buying the machine to make it from scratch.cheers sue

I can remember when I was little and we had the hand crank type of ice cream maker and my parents used to make it a lot for us during the summer time. My husband and I used to have a hand crank kind also but then got an electric one and used to make ice cream a lot. Now we have it at least 2 ot 3 times a year during the summer when my grandson is here for a visit. You can get the worst brain freeze with home made ice cream. hahaha

I've only made ice cream when I had the machine. Even with the machine, I had limited success.
I just go to the grocery store.

I love making homemade ice cream. I have one of the ice cream machines that you don't have to actually sit there and turn. You just put everything in the frozen canister and it turns and churns it all for you. Makes it much more enjoyable to make your own ice cream. :)
I usually make chocolate ice cream with all different kinds of mix-ins. I've used crushed up oreos, recees' pieces, m&ms, pieces of strawberries, pieces of raspberries, nearly everything imaginable.
I also make cheesecake ice cream, mint(using real mint leaves), peanut butter ice cream, and cake batter ice cream and put them in different containers and freeze them.
As you can tell, we eat a lot of ice cream in our house, but if for some reason there is no homemade ice cream around, we use Breyer's which is a great alternative.
