Summer is calling my name and I am answering with the hum of my ice cream maker.
I have pulled together 10 Cuisinart ice cream recipes that range from fruity fresh to deeply decadent.
Get your spoons ready because this is about to be the coolest summer ever.
1. Coffee Ice Cream
Is eating ice cream for breakfast acceptable? This recipe contains a full cup of strong brewed coffee so I say yes.
It tastes like a fancy frozen latte meets French vanilla and gives you a genuine caffeine kick. I am absolutely obsessed with this flavor.
2. Strawberry Ice Cream
Four ingredients stand between you and this pink perfection. You just need ripe strawberries plus maple syrup and milk and cream to make magic happen.
Crush the berries separately before adding them to the churn for the best texture.
3. Chocolate Ice Cream
This is the rich chocolatey fix you need right now. It uses unsweetened cocoa powder mixed with the standard base for a creamy treat in about thirty minutes.
You can even cut back on the milk if you prefer a darker chocolate vibe.
4. Peach Ice Cream
Sweet cream meets tart ripe peaches in this summery dream.
You can control the final texture by how much you pulse the fruit in your food processor. Keep the chunks large for a rustic feel or puree them for a smooth finish.
5. Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Big chunks of Oreos make this crunchy and sweet treat a total winner.
You can crush the cookies into a fine powder or leave them big and chunky for texture. Just mix the simple base and let the machine do the work.
6. Vanilla Ice Cream
Sometimes you just need the classic simplicity of vanilla done right. A pinch of salt highlights the sweet cream and sugar for a perfect base or standalone scoop.
It goes perfectly on top of a warm slice of apple pie.
7. Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream
This tastes like a piña colada that you can eat with a spoon. Coconut milk and tangy lime zest mix with pineapple for a total tropical vacation in a bowl.
I love adding extra coconut flakes on top for a double dose of flavor.
8. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Bittersweet chocolate and pure mint extract create a fresh flavor that beats the store version.
You can add food coloring for that classic green or keep it natural and pale. Sweetened condensed milk makes the texture absolutely amazing.
9. Butter Pecan Ice Cream
Intense buttery sweetness pairs up with chopped pecans for a delightful crunch.
This is a bold flavor choice for anyone who loves their desserts rich and savory sweet. It is definitely one of the most flavorful options on this list.
10. Blueberry Ice Cream
The gorgeous purple color comes straight from fresh or frozen blueberries cooked into a syrup. It takes a little stove time to thicken the berries but the result is vibrant.
You only need five ingredients to make this fruity masterpiece.
