Some people refer to summer as bikini season, but around here, we prefer to call it ice cream season. The temperature rises, and so do your frozen dessert needs along with it; why not take that as an opportunity to hone your homemade ice cream-making skills? Here are 13 ice cream recipes sure to motivate you, heatwave or no.
And if you don’t have an ice cream maker, no worries! Here are seven ways to make ice cream without an ice cream machine—but if you would like to own a dedicated frozen dessert machine, we rounded up the best ice cream makers and snow cone machines too.
Either way, it’s time for some creamy, dreamy treats that’ll make you forget all about the ice cream truck. Eat them as-is, give them the sundae treatment, or even try them with some savory ice cream toppings. They’re scream-worthy, every one.
