I always had the feeling that ice creams are only made in ice cream machines and there is no way you can make one at home if you lack an ice cream maker. I guess I was wrong. Yesterday a friend of mine emailed me a recipe which describes a simple method of making ice cream without using any kind of ice cream maker. The recipe was of mango ice cream but I think you can make any flavor with this recipe. The key is using a beater instead of ice cream machine and I think it is possible to make any quantity of ice cream by altering the quantity of ingredients. The only thing that I didn't like slightly about this method is that the ice cream has to be stored in a freezer overnight and then consumed the other day. My friend told be that she had tried this several times and the results were great every time. I am yet to try this method and see how it goes. Although I do have an ice cream maker but still I feel excited about making ice cream without it. Here is the link she sent me : http://www.recipedose.com/2009/04/mango-ice-cream-made-without-ice-cream.html So what you people think about this method. Will this yield the same ice cream made in an ice cream machine or not ?

Thanks for the tip. I just made my first ice cream with this method. Actually I made two boxes each of almost 1 quart of ice cream. The one that I beated more was more fluffy than the one I beated less. So this makes it very clear that thorough beating will result a more fluffy ice cream. Now I will be making other flavors with this method. Thanks for your response
