I'm not vegan, but, I can't have milk or dairy. I like non-dairy ice cream you can buy at the store, but I was wondering if anyone knew a way to make non-dairy ice cream at home, and if you can make it without an ice cream churn..... Please help.

Answer
I make ones with both soya milk and almond milk, I cannot have rice, I warm either one, sweeten it with your choice of sweetener, one word of advise, make it a bit on the sweet side as once it freezes it does fade, I use Splenda and Honey but regular sugar, Agave nectar or just straight honey is fine, I thicken it with a starch solution, now you can use an egg in this if your not a vegan or vegetarian, it makes it creamier, essentially it is like making a milk pudding custard with a non dairy milk product, I chill the mix for 12-24 hours and process in my ice cream machine, but you can make the mix, freeze in ice cube trays from the Dollar stores and the buzz these in a blender or food processor to make a slushy like ice cream, you can add fruits, fruit puree's, chocolate, other flavours you can make it with vanilla and chocolate soya or almond milks to for a quicker method.

Does anyone have a recipe for old fashioned ice cream?

One Sunday after church as a child, this elderly woman was selling her homemade (probably churned) vanilla ice cream for 25 cents per dixe cup. It was the BEST ice cream I have ever tasted in 37 yrs. And I hate vanilla ice cream! Any old or churned recipe's will be greatly appreciated!

Answer
Old-Fashioned Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
6 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
13-ounce can evaporated milk (1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons)
1 gallon whole milk
chipped ice
rock salt
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add sugar gradually, stirring constantly. Add salt, vanilla and canned milk. Add about a pint of the fresh milk and mix.
Pour mixture into ice cream freezer can. Add enough of the remainder of the milk to fill can to the middle of the top board of dasher. (If the freezer can has a "fill" line on it, fill no higher than that line.)

Assemble the ice cream freezer. Add alternating layers of chipped ice and rock salt to barrel around freezer can. Crank freezer until ice cream begins to freeze (cranking will become harder as ice cream freezes), adding more ice and salt, as needed. When handle becomes difficult-to-impossible to turn, remove turning mechanism, and carefully remove top from freezer can; remove dasher. Replace top. Cover can with more ice and salt. Cover ice with an old towel, allowing ice cream to "cure" for at least 1 hour. If yours is an electric freezer, follow manufacturer's directions, but the curing step is essential.

Makes about 5 quarts of ice cream.

Do you really have to freeze ice cream after you make it in your ice cream maker?

Tears and

If I just freeze the bowl, chill the mixture, and do everything else that the instructions of my ice cream maker tell me to do and churn the ice cream, can I just eat it when it's done churning instead of freezing it for eight hours first? Won't it be just like soft serve ice cream?

Answer
you don't have to freeze the ice cream. personally i hate it when ice cream is really frozen because i get cold really easily so i LOVE creamy ice cream. i think lots of people do. go ahead and do what you want, and see how it turns out!! It's worth a try, right? If you dont do it then its just a longer time you have to wait to try it and when you eventually do, you'll be so sad you didn't do it earlier. ;-)
