It’s time for so much ice cream!!
Like ice cream… in 5 different flavors… all in one post!!!
I mean, does it get any better??? Probably not.
There is literally a flavor for everyone. Fruity, chocolatey, creamy, sin worthy.
PERFECT.
Here’s the deal. The idea for making ice cream 5 different ways has been in my head FOREVER, but I wanted to wait until closer to the 4th of July to share it with you. And guys, the time has come!
The 4th of July is exactly two weeks from tomorrow and that means planning needs to start now. After all, it’s America’s birthday. You have to celebrate big…or go home. And by celebrate big I really just mean, make a killer meal, light some sparklers, watch some fireworks and end the night with a heck of a lot ice cream…oh, and maybe some S’mores too…yeah, you definitely need both.
Anyway, originally this post was supposed to be no churn ice cream 3 ways, but me being me could not decide on just three flavors. I had to tack on two more, cause I just couldn’t leave anything out.
Tell me, how does one choose between Bourbon Cherry with Cacao Nibs and Malted Peanut Butter Cup??
Answer? You just don’t…you make them all! It’s summer and the freezer should be stocked with ice cream galore anyways.
So let me walk you through my flavors of this no churn ice cream 5 ways.
>>>Cherry Bourbon and Cacao Nib – boozy cherries, vanilla ice cream and cacao nibs for a bit of crunch. Honestly, I am not really that into fruity based ice cream, but I love, love, love this ice cream. The combo of cherries and bourbon never gets old. Oh, and since I am addicted to cacao nibs lately, I just had to add them – they are awesome paired with the cherries and bourbon, plus I really love the crunch they give.
>>>Blackberry Lavender –Â Lavender infused ice cream swirled with smashed blackberries. This one is super simple and again, another fruity one, BUT I still love it. It’s just light and fresh. It’s also not too heavy so it’s perfect for snacking.
>>>Sea Salt, Honey and Dark Chocolate Chunk – Oh this flavor. It’s PERFECT. Sweet, salt and chocolatey. Enough said.
>>>Espresso Chip – This one is possibly my very favorite flavor. It’s just so intense and delicious. I love the combo of chocolate and coffee. Put them together in a creamy, sweet ice cream?? Yeah, in love!
>>>Malted Vanilla and Peanut Butter Cup Chip – This one is just pure sin worthy. Malt powder, peanut butter cups and chocolate. It’s basically every kid’s dream… and every adult’s secret dream…what? You know that is so true.
So what do you think? What’s going to be your favorite??
The best things about these five ice creams is that they are all so simple, quick and easy to make. PLUS, you obviously need no ice cream maker. Hip, hip hooray!!
My thinking is that you can make all five ice creams and have a little 4th of July ice cream station. How fun is that? You could make chocolate dipped cones, sundaes (bring on the hot fudge!), banana splits or simply just use bowls. You could totally deck the station out with festive decorations and old school ice cream scoops (my favorite!). Everyone can load up on scoops of each flavor and try them all! I am talking triple scooped cones and 5 scoops long banana splits…because 3 scoops is so last season.
You could even make these ice creams for Father’s day! I know all dads would totally appreciate an ice cream station full of homemade flavors. Can you say best gift ever??
Yupp!!
Really though?!? Isn’t it kind of cool that you can make ice cream with just heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk? I swear, it is probably one of my favorite ways to make ice cream. It’s incredibly creamy and just perfectly sweet. Plus, I just love how easy it is – no eggs, no big machine, no fuss!
Think of the endless flavor options?!? I mean, I could have totally shared 20 flavors today…next summer…or maybe next week?!?
Also, is it bad that I made this ice cream just last week and I only have a few bites left of just the blackberry (you know, the whole no chocolate thing, but I still love it!)?? The rest was history days ago.

Thinkin’ I need to make more. Yep, I do.
I savor, cause I discovered exactly what I used to be having a look for.
You’ve ended my 4 day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nicde day.
Bye
Thank you so much!

Thanks!
Hi! Does the mixer bowl need to be cold/frozen before mixing the ingredients? Thanks!
Does the mixer bowl need to be frozen/cold before beginning to mix the ingredients? Thanks so much!
The mixing bowl does not need to be cold. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
bookmarked!!, I love you site!
Thank you!! I hope you love this Sophie!
Which measurement is correct for the cream in the Lavender Blackberry recipe? In the ingredients it says “1/3 cup” and in the instructions it says “1/4 cup.”
Thanks! Can’t wait to try this flavor!
Hey Mandy! So sorry for the confusion. It is 1/3 cup heavy cream. Let me know if you have questions. Hope you love the ice creams! 🙂
I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing problems with
your blog. It seems like some of the text within your content are running off the screen.
Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening
to them as well? This may be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Cheers
I am so sorry for the trouble. I have not had anyone else complain. Can you explain what is happening? Hope I can help!
I love this post, Love these flavours
Thank you so much! I’m glad you are enjoying these!
I made the bourbon cherry one today but instead of cocoa nibs or mini chips I chopped up a bar of semi-sweet chocolate, which resulted in little flecks of chocolate all through the ice cream. So good! I found that the cherry flavor wasn’t as strong as I wanted it to be, though. Even when I eat an actual piece of cherry it doesn’t taste like much. I used frozen cherries; do you think fresh would work better? Maybe I could have reduced the liquid they were cooking in a bit more? I’ll definitely be trying that recipe again 🙂 I can’t wait to try some of those other flavors, too!
Hmm, that’s so weird. I would think frozen cherries would be fine, but maybe try fresh next time to see if that’s more flavorful. Nothing beats a fresh cherry i guess! 🙂 So glad you enjoyed the ice cream!
Super Webpage. Vielen Dank.
Thanks!
Thank you for this post! I have been considering getting an ice cream machine, as my daughter has so wanted to make our own, but it was going to be one more machine in my small, NYC apt. This was the perfect solution-we added caramel, as that’s our favorite, and it is rich and creamy and oh-so-easy.
Thanks so much Erika, I am so happy you and your daughter enjoyed this recipe!! (:
hi made both Bourbon Cherry and Cacao Nib and sea salt honey yesterday. Both are amazing. i have a question is there a way to cut down on the sweetness can i use less condense milk and more cream…
thanks
Gary
Hey Gary!! That is so awesome you made so many flavors!! Yes, you can cut down on the condensed milk. I would try using 3/4 the can or even half the can. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks so much!!
The texture was great- so light and smooth!! I made the blackberry but I found it to be overly sweet :/ not sure if a different flavor would cut down on that or if you can adjust the ratio of condensed milk/cream to cut the sugar. Otherwise amazing!! Love your blog!
Hey Emma! You can just reduce the sweetened condensed milk until you find the right sweetness for you. I would say start with about 1/4 less? Let me know if you have questions. Thank you!!
Oh boy… where was I a year ago. How could I have possibly missed this post. I am so excited to try these. Blackberry lavender, mmmmm. Sea Salt Honey & Dark Chocolate, can’t wait. And Malted vanilla & peanut butter cup chip, where have you been all my life! I don’t drink alcohol, but the Cherry Bourbon and Cocoa Nib, just might tempt me. Thanks for these. I’ll be trying them real soon. Even if its still cold outside.
hehe! THANK YOU! Hope you love all the flavors!
Love these. Check out my blog for my white chocolate caramel pecan version!
