Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

What About Mix-Ins?

Although this vanilla ice cream stands on its own, you can always add a variety of mix-ins to, well, mix it up. Crushed up cookies, pieces of candy, fruit, you name it. I love the idea of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or some fresh raspberries. Suddenly you’ve added a whole list of flavors of homemade ice cream to your cooking — and cooling off — arsenal. When it comes to adding them in, there’s really no right amount of specific items to add. Experiment. Have fun. You’ll find the flavors that are right for you and your family.

What Goes Great With Ice Cream?

Well, everything, naturally. But here are a few things you can use with, or serve with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. Try using homemade ice cream inside these Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches for a delicious flavor and texture. The next time you make Traditional Homemade Apple Pie or our Pecan Pie, why not serve it a la mode? And when you enjoy the rich flavor of this Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake, ice cream on the side makes it even better. Share It on Instagram!
