You've Got Ice Cream Questions? I've Got Answers!

Ever since I first published the ice cream ebook... I have been asked question after question from those who were wanting to buy the book, but needed to know specific things before making a purchase.

Honestly, I loved getting their questions and replying back with answers to help them take a step forward to start making the best homemade ice cream right in their kitchens. As an author, it is important to me to help you all be able to accomplish that!

Below I put together the top 10 questions that have been asked and my answers to them. I hope they will be helpful to you and if you have any questions not listed here... please do not hesitate to ask in the comments below or email me! Thank you!

Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions

1. What kind of ingredients are being used?

Real, wholesome ingredients. No weird or yucky ingredients here!

2. Are there dairy-free & sugar-free options in there?

Yes, in the book I recommend using coconut milk as a dairy-free option.

For sugar-free options, you will find honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or stevia. You can learn more about the different options in the book, Just Making Ice Cream.

3. What kind of sweeteners do you use?

Raw honey is my go to sweetener, but I also use sucanat, maple syrup, coconut sugar, turbinado and organic cane sugar. It just depends on what kind of ice cream I plan to make and how the sweetener can affect the overall flavor.

4. Can I use stevia exclusively to sweeten my ice cream?

You can use stevia, but you will have to play around with how much you use. Creating recipes using stevia exclusively is tricky because not everyone uses the same amounts. Plus, almost every brand of stevia is different in taste and sweetness.

5. Do I have to have an ice cream maker?

Nope! I recently shared 5 ways you can make fast & delicious ice cream with or without a machine... plus, In the book, you will find 5 different ways you can make ice cream without a machine. Sure, it is easier to make ice cream with a ice cream maker, but not everyone has one and that shouldn't stop you from using other alternatives!

6. How long will it take me to make the ice cream, from start to mouth?

Usually anywhere from 40 minutes to 24 hours, depending on what technique (fast or slow) you use to make the ice cream base, the time it takes to cool down the ice cream base and what method you use to make the ice cream. In the end, it is so worth it... trust me!

7. How easy is it to make your recipes?

Super easy. Even my oldest daughter can whip up some ice cream using  my recipes (with my help, obviously).

8. How many recipes are there and can I take a peek at the list?

There are exactly 73 recipes in the book. You are more than welcome to take a peek... while you are at it, enjoy some of the delicious photos too!

9. What's your favorite recipe in the book?

Ooooh, that's a tough one because I love every single recipe in my book... I created, tested & enjoyed them all! But I will say that my all-time favorite is the Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Growing up, that was the flavor I always chose whenever we went to an ice cream shop, but with my recipe... I get twice the amount of cookie dough in my ice cream now!

10. What's the difference between the first and second edition?

I have been working on this baby little by little to improve the ebook since its first release. There were typos to fix, more pictures to add and a new recipe to add in because it was too good to leave out.

I am already working on creating a 3rd edition with more pictures and recipes! I hope to have it available in printed format... oh, I would love to hold a book of Just Making Ice Cream in my own hands, someday!

5 Ways I Can Help You Make Fast & Delicious Ice Cream At Home With or Without Machine

After years of many failures and successes, plus writing an ebook devoted wholly to ice cream, I have learned several ways (or tricks, really) that you can use to get consistent results for creamy, delicious ice cream... especially, the fast way.

We all know that texture & flavor is pretty important when it comes to making homemade ice cream, especially the texture. Everyone likes their ice cream creamy and easy to scoop out of the container, but... that's commercial ice cream.

Realistically, you just can't compare homemade ice cream with commercial ice cream. Homemade wins, hands down, ingredient-wise and flavor-wise.

Commercial ice cream is full of hidden ingredients that help the ice cream to keep their creaminess and make scooping easier, but I am not going to go into more details on that because I already wrote all about it in my ebook, Just Making Ice Cream.

So, back to making ice cream at home... you and I have seen all those delicious, beautiful pictures of perfectly scooped homemade ice cream on Pinterest & elsewhere and often click on the links to find out how to make it in our own kitchen.

What do we find? More often than not, a recipe that calls for cooking up a custard base, chilling it for several hours or overnight and then pouring it into an ice cream maker. Here we have three potential problems...

"Hmmm, but I want it RIGHT NOW!"

"OH MAN, I wish I could make this... but I don't have that fancy ice cream maker!"

"Ugh, is not dairy-free or egg-free!"

Ever had those thoughts? yeah, that's what I thought...

So, today I am going to come to the rescue and share 5 ways I can help you make delicious ice cream, fast & easy... with or without a machine. Making the ice cream without a machine won't be as fast as having an ice cream machine or even a food processor, but it will be better than nothing!

These are some of the many tips you will find in my book, Just Making Ice Cream. To learn more reasons why you should make your own ice cream and 5 other ways to make ice cream without an ice cream machine... you will have to purchase the book  :)

5 Ways I Can Help You Make Fast & Delicious Ice Cream At Home

1. Use 100% cream. You are pretty much guaranteed to get the creamiest results if you use 100% cream. When a recipe calls for cooking up a custard with a combination of whole milk, cream and eggs... skip that and just mix everything together using 100% cream.

Personally, I often find using 100% cream is too thick for my taste. So I prefer about 20% whole milk and 80% cream (ex: 1 cup milk & 2 cups cream) or pure goat milk. You can totally adjust the amount of milk and cream to your preferences! Don't let one technique stop you from using a different technique so you can have your ice cream in less than an hour.

When you transfer your ice cream into a container to harden in the freezer, be sure to allow it to thaw for about 10 minutes. Check it after 5 minutes because room temperature can play a hand in how quickly your ice cream will thaw.

2. Coconut milk. Can't have dairy? No problem! Coconut milk is the best dairy-free alternative for making ice cream. The full fat version will give you the creamiest results, but you can use the light version if you don't want a strong coconut flavor.

You can use 100% coconut milk in any recipe, just keep in mind the possibility of having some coconut flavor when eating your ice cream. I often use coconut milk when I don't have goat milk on hand and have been very happy with the results!

Also, it is much easier to keep coconut milk in your pantry as it lasts longer on the shelf in a can then fresh cream in the fridge! So, if that desire for ice cream kicks in and you don't have any fresh cream or whole milk... all you gotta do is pull down a can of coconut milk to save the day!

3. Use dry sweeteners. Exclusively using liquid sweeteners, such as honey & maple syrup, will cause your ice cream to be a little "icy" instead of smooth (but I personally don't mind that too much!). Dry sweeteners, such as Rapadura, Sucanat, evaporated cane juice, coconut palm sugar and maple sugar, gives the best results for a smoother texture.

Keep in mind the flavors of the sweeteners you plan to use... some are stronger than others. When I plan to make ice cream, I think about which sweetener would combine well with the ingredients to product the best flavor. For example, I often use rapadura or sucanat or dark honey when I make a chocolate base ice cream, which help create a deep, rich flavor. When making a strawberry base ice cream, I often use light honey or evaporated cane juice. When making a caramel base ice cream, the best is coconut palm sugar and so on. 

4. Use lots of egg yolks...or not. Egg yolks will increase the creaminess in texture and lessen crystallization when storing your ice cream in the freezer, plus eating raw egg yolks is so good for you!

But you can totally skip using egg yolks if you have egg allergies or need to be frugal. Using 100% cream or coconut milk is good enough to make delicious & creamy ice cream!

5. Make your ice cream in 5 easy steps. Of course, we all want an ice cream machine... I have a super nice Breville ice cream machine and use it frequently, but there was a time when I didn't have a machine and had to get creative with making homemade ice cream without a machine. Join me in the process and you will be surprised how easy it really is!

1. Prepare your ice cream mixture and make sure it is chilled before proceeding to step 2.
2. Pour your ice cream mixture into a deep baking dish or bowl made of plastic, stainless steel or something durable and put in the freezer.
3. After about 45 minutes, open the door and check on it. When it starts to freeze near the edges, take the ice cream out of the freezer and stir it vigorously with a spatula or whisk. Really beat it up and break up the frozen sections. Return to the freezer.
4. Continue to check the mixture every 30 minutes and stir it vigorously as it is freezing. If you have one, you can use a hand-held mixer or stick blender for best results... but since we are doing it low-tech here, a spatula or sturdy whisk with a strong arm is good enough!
5. Keep checking and stirring while it freezes until the ice cream is frozen. It will take about 2 to 3 hours to be ready. Transfer the ice cream to a covered storage container until ready to serve.

Tip: You can add in nuts, chocolate chips, fruits and whatever else you want towards the end of the process, but sure to add them in before the ice cream is completely frozen!

Think you will try making your ice cream with a strong arm and whisk? Have you made ice cream without a machine?

Coming Soon: The 2nd Edition of Just Making Ice Cream, Ultimate Homemaking Bundle Sale, a FREE Gift & Giveaway!

Woohoo!! Ready to make some seriously awesome ice cream this summer with my newest edition?? Honestly, I make ice cream year-round, but there is something wonderfully special about making homemade ice cream in the heat of summer.

Anyway, I am thrilled to be sharing the 2nd Edition of Just Making Ice Cream with you all. Finally.

I have been working on this baby little by little to improve the ebook since its first release. There were typos to fix, more pictures to add and a new recipe to add in because it was too good to leave out.

I am already working on improving it even more by adding more pictures & recipes to possibly release a 3rd Edition sometime in the future, but hopefully provide a printed option too!! I have been told over and over..."Mare, you should get that book printed!!"

Hmmm, I would love to hold a printed copy of my ice cream book in my hands someday!

Oh, that brings me to another exciting news... Just Making Ice Cream: 2nd Edition will be available in a Kindle format!! So, keep your eyes open on Amazon in the near future (hopefully), but you can actually get my ebook on Kindle format MUCH sooner...

Just Making Ice Cream: 2nd Edition is being released in the upcoming bundle sale... The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle Sale!



Yes, yes... I know... another bundle sale.

BUT, but... there are three exciting things about this bundle sale.

One, they are providing two options when you purchase a bundle... you can purchase the bundle  in PDF format OR Kindle format. Due to great demand, you now have the option to buy the bundle and download it into your Kindle!

Just think, you can look through my ebook in COLOR (if you own a Kindle Fire) and right in your hands in the kitchen while you are whipping up some ice cream! 

Two, a large percentage of the ebooks in this bundle sale are brand new and have not yet been released to the general public.

So, you would be getting almost a whole new library of ebooks for one great price and it is coming this Wednesday, April 23rd!

Three, the 2nd Edition of Just Making Ice Cream will be in the bundle and this bundle will most likely be the last one for Just Making Ice Cream.

Grab this chance to get my ebook along with several others for one great price! Remember, no bundle is the same and once it's over... it won't be coming back!

I can't tell you everything about the bundle that will be coming out this week, but what I can tell you is this...

The Bundle goes live on April 23rd and it available until the 28th

The total value of the bundle is $850+ (including bonuses!)

The number of books, audio files, printables and eCourses: 83

The PDF bundle price: $29.97

The Kindle bundle price: $39.97
