Why I Make Ice Cream in a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
After I beat cancer, I try to eat as clean as possible. My family supports me and joins me on this mission; however, my husband loves his ice cream! We made a deal, though: if he would stop eating store-bought ice cream, I would make him homemade ice cream. It’s a win because we’re eating cleaner and still enjoying our treats!
Dessert shouldn’t come with an ingredients list you can’t pronounce. There are healthier ways to enjoy your favorite treats. Bonus if you find a farm producing A2 raw, grass-fed milk and cream. It’s full of vitamins and minerals and is actually anti-inflammatory!
If you’re ready to ditch store-bought and try my Cuisinart vanilla ice cream, then I promise your family will thank you for it!

How To Make Vanilla Ice Cream in Cuisinart
It’s SO easy to make! Let the ice cream maker do the heavy lifting, or rather, churning.
First, measure two cups of milk and two cups of heavy cream.

Next, measure 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup (or honey) and add it to the milk.

Then add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and mix well.

Finally, add the mixture to your ice cream maker, and voila! I keep my insert always in the freezer, ready for the next batch.

At this stage, add mini chocolate chips or other add-ins if you want them. Dye-free sprinkles are a popular choice among my kids. Place in the freezer to fully set. Soon, you’ll have a delicious, creamy, cold, sweet treat ready to top with more of your favorite toppings, pair with a warm dessert, or dollop with fresh berries- my favorite!
Guaranteed to be husband-approved!
