Family-favorite Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
Making homemade ice cream shouldn’t be rocket science—or require a $500 machine that hogs counter space. With the Tummbl Ice Cream Maker, you can whip up creamy, dreamy ice cream right in your own dryer (yes, you read that right). Toss in a few simple ingredients, press start, and boom—you’ve got dessert that’ll make your family think you’re a culinary genius.
Here’s the classic vanilla recipe to get you started.
Ingredients (Ice Cream Base)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk (2% or whole)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
For larger silicone bag:
- ½ cup ice cream salt
- 6 cups ice
Instructions
Whisk ingredients (except ice cream salt and ice) together. Pour into smaller Tummbl silicone bag. Seal smaller silicone bag with slider and place inside larger Tummbl silicone bag. Add ½ cup ice cream salt and as much ice as will comfortably fit. Seal larger silicone bag with slider and place inside fabric Tummbl bag. Close zipper on fabric bag. Place fabric bag in empty dryer and run on air dry (no-heat) setting for 20-30 min. Remove fabric bag from dryer. Remove orange silicone bag with the ice cream. You can eat it right away or place directly into freezer for extra firmness—no need to transfer ice cream mixture to another container.
Notes:
- Ice cream mixture must be cool when it goes into the Tummbl. Some recipes suggest or require slightly heating the cream/milk to facilitate adding in other ingredients or for dissolving sugar, cocoa power, etc. This is not necessary for the basic ice cream recipe, but if the mixture is heated up it must be cooled in the refrigerator before using the Tummbl.
- Ice cream salt is available in the grocery store on the baking aisle near other salts (cooking table salt, etc.)
- For chocolate ice cream, add ¼ cup cocoa powder with the sugar. The amount of cocoa powder can be adjusted based on personal preference.
- Mix-ins, such as cookies, cookie dough, brownies, chocolate chips, candy bar crumbles, fresh fruit, frozen fruit, etc., should be added immediately after the Tummbl is removed from the dryer. The ice cream will still be soft and the mix-ins can be easily mixed in.
