Make Ice Cream without a Special Machine
• You can make ice cream in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator without an ice cream maker.
• This method is called “still freezing.”
• The quantity and texture varies slightly from that produced in an ice cream maker.
• For a smoother and creamier product by this method, beat the mixture two or three times during the freezing process.
1. Food Processor
• Pour prepared ingredients into a loaf pan or 8-inch square baking pan.
• Cover with foil or plastic wrap, and place in freezer.
• Freeze until solid, 60 to 100 minutes.
• Break frozen mixture into pieces.
• Spoon into a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
• Process until soft but not melted.
• Repeat freezing and processing one or two more times.
2. Mixer
• Pour prepared ice cream ingredients into a metal mixer bowl.
• Cover with foil or plastic wrap.
• Put in freezer.
• Freeze about 2 hours or until ice cream is firm at the edges and semi-soft in the center. Beat with electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft hut not melted.
• Repeat freezing and beating one or two more times.
• After final processing or beating, stir or fold in any whole or chopped nuts, pieces of candy or cookies, and pieces of fruit or prepared ingredients you choose to produce a swirled or marbled effect.
Serve after final beating or return to freezer and serve later.
