Is there anything better on a hot summer’s day than a cold ice cream? Many people would think not, but we say otherwise.
The one thing better than ice cream on a hot summer’s day is a homemade Cuisinart ice cream.
Thanks to the Cuisinart ice cream maker, we can quickly and easily make the freshest, sweetest, and coldest ice cream around. We can combine unique flavors to make our very own type of ice cream.
We can use fresh ingredients to create classic flavors, and we can produce a huge bowl of ice cream ready to be eaten without leaving the house.
Doesn’t that sound great?
However, with so many wonderful flavors at our disposal, choosing the best ice cream to make can be overwhelming. Therefore, we need a list of the very best. That’s where we come in.
In this post, we’ve listed the 13 top Cuisinart ice cream recipes. Take a look if you need some ice cream inspiration.
1. Vanilla Ice Cream
There seems like no better place to start than with a simple vanilla ice cream. It may not be the most adventurous flavor on the planet, but we know exactly what we get from vanilla. This classic flavor is light, mild, and beautifully sweet.
You don’t need too many ingredients either. All you need to make vanilla ice cream is double cream, full-fat milk, a vanilla pod, free-range eggs, ice cubes, and caster sugar.
The eggs and cream used to make the ice cream are what gives it a lovely smooth, creamy texture.
2. Dairy-Free Vanilla Ice Cream
Before we move on to the more exciting flavors, we’d like to give you a fantastic dairy-free vanilla ice cream that is perfect for vegans.
What makes this creamy, smooth ice cream vegan is the addition of coconut milk and almond milk instead of the full-fat milk and double cream.
This recipe doesn’t contain eggs either. The other difference between this recipe and the one above is that this recipe asks for maple syrup.
3. Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Next up, we have a unique ice cream recipe that you’ll fall in love with. This recipe from Food.com helps you make ridiculously rich, sweet, and fluffy ice cream with a peanut butter flavor.
This recipe wonderfully combines two flavors to create a masterpiece. Those flavors are sweet, salty caramel, and peanut butter.
Super sweet and creamy, this ice cream even has the delightful crunch we all love peanut butter for.
4. S’mores Ice Cream
This S’mores ice cream recipe allows you to experience all the best flavors S’mores has to offer without having to start a fire. Simply throw all the ingredients into your Cuisinart ice cream maker and let the machine do the rest.
Seriously chocolatey and loaded with gooey marshmallows, this recipe isn’t only tasty, but it’s also very easy to make.
So much so, you could quite easily get the children involved in the making process. Any leftover chunks can be frozen for use at a later date.
5. Salted Caramel Ice Cream
For us, nothing can compare to the combination of salty and sweet flavors. A good salted caramel recipe sums this up perfectly. Wonderfully balanced, this ice cream recipe is both sweet and salty, giving us the best of both worlds.
Very rich too, we only need cream, sugar, butter, water, milk, vanilla, and sea salt flakes to make a batch of salted caramel ice cream.
You’ll also be pleased to hear that a batch of this ice cream only takes 20 minutes to whip up.
6. Fruit Sorbet
Okay, admittedly this next ice cream is technically a sorbet, however, it makes this list because it’s so refreshing. Besides, sorbet is practically ice cream anyway. This particular recipe helps you make a sweet and tangy citrus sorbet.
The ingredients used to give this sorbet immense flavor include tangerine zest, lemon zest, sugar, water, lemon juice, and tangerine juice.
All of these ingredients pack a punch and are easy to get hold of.
7. Chocolate Ice Cream
One of the hardest ice cream flavors to beat is a classic chocolate flavor. Rich, sweet, and incredibly satisfying, there is just something about chocolate ice cream that makes it more enjoyable than others.
To make chocolate ice cream, you’ll need the same ingredients you use to make vanilla ice cream. The only addition is cocoa powder which is what gives the ice cream a rich brown color and a chocolatey flavor.
8. Strawberry Ice Cream
We simply have to follow chocolate ice cream up with strawberry ice cream. Strawberry ice cream is another extremely popular flavor of ice cream. What we love about strawberry ice cream is its fruitiness.
The fresh, sweet flavor of the strawberries makes this ice cream much more refreshing than vanilla or chocolate ice cream. All you need to make this strawberry ice cream are 14 strawberries, milk, heavy cream, and maple syrup.
9. Peach Ice Cream
Another fruity flavor of ice cream you’ll love is peach ice cream. Easily made using a Cuisinart ice cream maker, this lush ice cream has a strong, refreshing flavor.
What we love about this ice cream recipe is how it unlocks the sweetness and the tartness of the peaches.
This combination of sweet and sour flavors gives our taste buds something to think about. You can use frozen or fresh peaches to make this ice cream, but make sure you thaw them out first.
10. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
The next recipe on our list comes fresh from the Cuisinart website. As a result, we can expect brilliant results from your Cuisinart appliance.
This ice cream tastes just as good as the mint chocolate chip ice cream you’d buy in the store. It has a strong minty flavor and delicious chocolate chips that offer a neat crunch.
You only need milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, pure mint, bittersweet chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract to make this ice cream.
The only downside to this recipe is that it isn’t as green as the mint chocolate chip ice cream we normally buy.
11. Coffee Ice Cream
If you need that caffeine pick me up, whip up some of this coffee ice cream. Perfect for a hot summer’s day or sweet dessert, this ice cream contains a whole cup of strong-brewed coffee.
With that in mind, you can expect this coffee to pack a punch. We love this coffee ice cream recipe because it delicately balances a range of different flavors.
The mixture of coffee, vanilla, cream, and sugar, gives this ice cream a vanilla latte sort of vibe.
12. Cookies And Cream Ice Cream
The penultimate recipe on this list is cookies and cream ice cream. This ice cream is made with milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and crushed Oreos. It is a super sweet dessert that comes with an awesome crunch.
We found this ice cream to be a great option for children. Children absolutely love Oreos so get them to help you make this refreshing treat.
If you want an extra special crunch, place a large piece of Oreo on the top of each scoop of ice cream.
13. Coconut And Pineapple Ice Cream
We’re going to end this list with arguably the most refreshing ice cream you can make. Coconut and pineapple are the two main flavors in this ice cream. As a result, every lick gives us a tropical buzz of sweetness.
Other ingredients needed to make this ice cream include milk, sugar, lime, and vanilla. Aside from the sweetness of the pineapple and coconut, you’ll really appreciate the tanginess of the lime.
You’ll quickly find yourself dreaming of those pina coladas on the beach.
