I Scream, You Scream! 7 Sweet Homemade Ice Cream Recipes
Summer is here and that means it's ice cream time. And while we really like the store-bought kind, there's nothing that compares with making your own. Because when you make your own, the flavor possibilities are endless. We really like to do bourbon or buttermilk ice creams, but maybe you prefer Swedish fish or grape jelly and peanut butter. Whatever your taste is, you can have it when you make your own. Overwhelmed by the possibilities? Here are 7 flavors to start with:
1. Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
This homemade strawberry ice cream has just four ingredients, and that means a wallop of just-picked real strawberry flavor.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ripe strawberries, hulled and halved
1/2 cup sugar or 1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 cups heavy (whipping) cream, 18% coffee cream or Half & Half

Directions:
In a bowl, mash the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice with a potato masher (or squish them between your fingers, or whiz in the food processor); stir in the cream. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. If you want it firmer, transfer to a container or bowl and put in the freezer until firm. And please, try to share.
2. Bourbon Ice Cream
This boozy creamy ice cream is for grown-ups only, but that's OK since you won't want to share.
