No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream

This no-churn ice cream is super chocolatey, with a light texture similar to chocolate mousse. The chopped chocolate mixed throughout the ice cream adds even more flavor and a crunchy texture. It takes just minutes to whip up and is ready in just three hours.

No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream

Roasting strawberries with a vanilla bean, sugar, lemon zest, and salt until they are tender and jammy is the secret to this rich ice cream. This is a great way to use strawberries that are overripe, old, or about to go bad — roasting them brings out the richness of the sugars and the deepens the flavor in the berries, which goes a long way in ice cream (and as a bonus, the roasting strawberries make your kitchen smell amazing).

No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

Using whole vanilla beans is the secret to giving this ice cream its rich flavor, but you can swap in half a teaspoon of vanilla paste if you have some on-hand. The texture is rich and creamy, similar to a frozen mousse. The secret to this unbeatable texture is making sure you whip your cream to stiff peaks so it doesn’t deflate. Make sure the cream is cold and gently fold it into the condensed milk mixture so the cream does not deflate.

No-Churn Corn Ice Cream

For this simple ice cream recipe, corn kernels are blitzed in a food processor then strained and simmered down into a sweet pudding that forms the base of this dreamy dessert. A drizzle of store-bought dulce de leche provides the perfect buttery-sweet finish.

No-Churn Dairy-Free Banana Ice Cream

This vegan banana ice cream is blended with coconut milk and swirled with peanut butter and honey-roasted peanuts. It boasts a hint of sweetness from the honey and gets its richness from the coconut milk. Look for semi-ripe — not brown or green — bananas for the best texture and sweetness. The swirl of peanut butter throughout the ice cream and topping of honey-roasted peanuts makes it even more appealing.

No-Churn Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

This frozen yogurt is rich and creamy, and slightly tangy but still sweet, with a good amount of vanilla flavor. Using a higher milk fat percentage Greek yogurt is key to making this frozen yogurt creamy and fluffy, and to keep it from getting an icy texture as it freezes. The whole vanilla bean is essential to giving it a rich flavor.
