Here’s the scoop: 7 easy homemade ice cream recipes

From rich and creamy chocolate and vanilla ice cream to light and refreshing sorbet, there’s no better way to capture the easy, breezy vibes of summer than with a homemade batch of everyone’s favorite frozen treat. Hamilton Beach has the tools you need to make it possible, plus simple recipes to help you deliciously conquer the dog days of summer. 

The days are longer, and the temperatures are hotter, which means it’s time to enjoy balmy beach days, backyard barbeques, and picnics in the park with family and friends. One of the best ways to beat the heat is with a scoop (or two) of ice cream. Forget those “frozen dairy” desserts from the grocery store and use a Hamilton Beach blender or ice cream maker to whip up an ice-cold treat that will help you and your gang stay cool by the pool.

Homemade ice cream and sorbet with a blender

Did you know that your Hamilton Beach® Blender is capable of so much more than soups, sauces, and smoothies? With just a few ingredients and a high-speed blender, you can create a batch of creamy and dreamy chocolate or vanilla ice cream, or refreshing blueberry lemon sorbet in minutes. It’s surprisingly easy if you follow these simple tips:

  • All liquid ingredients should be cold and added to the blender first.
  • Stir mix-ins, like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or candy, at the end of blending.
  • Nonfat dry milk powder adds to the overall creaminess, while corn syrup keeps the ice cream from freezing too hard.
  • Blender ice cream is more grainy than regular ice cream. To get the best consistency, once blended, it will need to be frozen in an airtight container for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Blender ice cream is best eaten within two days.
