Making your own Homemade Sweet Cream Ice Cream is a lot like making your own bread for the first time. It takes a bit of patience, but the finished product is so delicious and a million times better than store bought!
Hi there! Have you ever had a kitchen appliance you wanted so badly that you knew you had to have it (eventually)? I’m not sure other normal people love kitchen appliances as much as foodies do. Anyway, ever since I got my KitchenAid stand mixer, I knew I needed to have the Ice Cream Maker attachment.
Ice cream is one of those foods that transcends age groups and is acceptable for (and loved by) all generations. I love summertime because we have a favorite shop we go to and it’s always filled with all sorts of people. I always try to get something other than my go-to, a small size Ooey Gooey Oreo in a cup with crushed peanut butter cups, but I hardly ever do. It’s one of my favorite flavor combinations out there. Mmmm. Check out that beauty I posted on Instagram last summer!
I found myself with an Amazon gift card and knew the attachment had to be mine, even though we technically don’t have even a little more space in the kitchen for it to stay. I can only imagine that my future home is going to be filled with kitchen items and be empty everywhere else.
I'm already well on my way to having more dishes, plates, cups, bowls and cloth napkins than other kinds of useful home goods. Also, please don’t look under the chair in the living room, that’s where I keep my marble pastry board. (I am a shameful human.)
All kidding and jokes aside, this Homemade Sweet Cream Ice Cream was incredible, even if I did have a few ice cream mishaps while making it. The recipe is from the Ben and Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream and Dessert cookbook that I also purchased on Amazon with the attachment. I can’t wait to freeze the bowl properly next time to get cracking on my long list of ice creams I want to make this summer! Stay tuned for more flavors that might hit the blog in the upcoming months.
What’s your favorite flavor? I'd love to toss in some cookie dough from my favorite cookie into the next batter!
Happy scooping!
Homemade Sweet Cream Ice Cream
Making your own Homemade Sweet Cream Ice Cream is a lot like making your own bread for the first time. It takes a bit of patience, but the finished product is so delicious and a million times better than store bought!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream, or whipping cream
- 1 cup milk, whole milk preferred
Instructions
- Whisk eggs in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the sugar and continue to whisk until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
- Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions on your ice cream maker to churn the ice cream. For the Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker attachment, the completely frozen bowl must be secured to the base and dasher secured to the bowl.
- Once the drive assembly is attached to the motor head, the head must be placed in the down position and then locked. Be sure to turn on the mixer to the "stir" setting before pouring in your ice cream base.
- Allow the ice cream maker to churn your ice cream for around 20 minutes. Again, check with your particular model's manual to be sure you are churning the ice cream properly.
- After churning to a soft serve consistency, scoop ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for a few hours for a hard and scoopable ice cream texture.
- Add any desired toppings and enjoy!

You don’t do anything to cook the eggs? Just make with the raw eggs?
Annie @ The Garlic Diaries
Oh my goodness, this makes me crave ice cream SO HARD. I resent you for bringing that craving into my life, but I also love you for bringing this recipe into my life as well ;). So yummy!
Jessica
Haha, sorry Annie!! Except not really 🙂 hope your weekend is full of ice cream and good times!
Pavani
I love homemade ice cream. Your recipe is quick and easy to make -- ice cream looks so creamy & yummy!!
Jessica
Thanks, Pavani! The hardest part is waiting for the ice cream to freeze up a little bit more in the freezer!
peter @Feed Your Soul Too
So simple to prepare but so creamy looking. The only problem with this recipe is it just wouldn't last in my house.
Jessica
HA! You must know exactly how it went down in my house too, then. It didn't last very long!!
Chef Mireille
theres nothing like homemade ice cream
Jessica
I agree! I can't wait to whip up some more all summer!
Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy
Homemade ice cream is the best. You can make whatever flavour you like, and you know exactly what goes into it. It actually MELTS too...since it is not full of preservatives.
Jessica
Yes!! I love knowing exactly what's in my food (and ice cream!) so making it at home just feels good 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
That sounds delicious! I know it's a loved flavor, but I've never tried!
Jessica
Thanks, Rebecca! You should totally give it a go one day 🙂

This ice cream seems like a must try, Jess. Amazing recipe!
Jessica
Thanks, Agness! It's a great base for adding in some fun toppings 🙂

You are sooo not alone, Jessica! I want the pasta roller attachment for my KitchenAid, despite the fact that I haven't made pasta in years, and that my cupboards are all full to bursting with all my kitchen gadgets. My pastry board lives on my dining room table :). This ice cream sounds absolutely incredible, and so perfect for this time of year! Fortunately, I just got my ice cream maker out of storage! Have a great weekend!
Jessica
Oh my goodness I forgot all about the pasta roller attachment!! Thanks so much & happy churning for the start of ice cream season!! 🙂
David @ Spiced
Oh, I totally agree with you about homemade ice cream, Jess! It's one of those things (like bread!) that seems intimidating, but really isn't that bad at all. And once you make it at home, you never want to go back to store-bought again. I love the sweet cream flavor you've got going on here. I prefer my ice cream flavors pretty plain, but then I like to top 'em with Oreos and crumbled Heath Bars. Mmmm... I hope you have a great weekend, my friend!
Jessica
Oreos, Heath Bars and Reese's are a few of my FAVORITE crumbled up toppings for ice cream. Great minds think alike!
