Cool down on a hot summer day with a scoop or two of an incredible ice cream that you’ve made yourself – without a churn!

When I was a child, I always looked forward to evenings that occurred on hot summer days because I knew they would trigger my mother to crave some cool ice cream.

There was something special about those cones we created in mom’s kitchen that this gal will never forget. However, there were many decades that I struggled to find an ice cream that could match the flavor of the cool and creamy concoctions we whipped up in her kitchen.

It wasn’t until I started to fool with ice cream makers that I was able to replicate the incredible taste.

However, it was also a lot of work and quite a bit of time to boot so, I wandered from making my own and settled on servings of the minimal ingredient, store-bought frozen treats.

Finding myself back at square one, I decided to research the point. “There has to be a way to make a minimal ingredient, fabulously flavorful ice cream at home that doesn’t require special equipment and lots of rock salt and time.”

After some searching and experimenting, I hit upon two different ways that enable you to make a no-churn ice cream that is not only no-churn but also knock-your-socks-off amazing in just about any flavor you like!

I highly recommend that you take the time this summer to make some ice cream of your own and share it with everyone you love so that they too can taste the love!

Here now are two very easy, no-special-equipment needed recipes for fabulously flavored ice creams and my own favorite way to make a superb chocolate syrup to serve alongside
