HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM IN AN ICE CREAM MAKER?
Because ice cream makers can vary from model to model, it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s directions when making ice cream in a Cuisinart ice cream maker.
HOW LONG DOES ICE CREAM LAST?

When in doubt, if it looks bad or icy, throw it out.
HOW LONG IS ICE CREAM GOOD FOR IN THE FREEZER?

When in doubt, if it looks bad or icy, throw it out.
WHAT IS A PINT OF ICE CREAM?
A pint is a US measurement of volume. One liquid pint equals 16 fluid ounces. One pint of ice cream is 16 fluid ounces of ice cream.
HOW BIG IS A PINT OF ICE CREAM?
There are approximately 16 fluid ounces in a pint of ice cream, which is about 2 cups. I prefer to use the volume measurements vs. weight measurements when I’m measuring a pint of ice cream.
It drives us batty when ice cream shops post prices for a pint, which is a volume measurement, but weigh the ice cream on a scale as if it’s a weight measurement.
Volume and weight are different! Rant over.
HOW DO I SCOOP HARD ICE CREAM?
There are a couple of methods for scooping hard ice cream. First, you can allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before scooping. You can also use a heated ice cream scooper. We prefer to set a metal ice cream scooper in hot water for 5 minutes, dry the ice cream scoop, and use it to scoop ice cream.

Calories 363 kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Chill the Cuisinart ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale yellow in color.
Add the milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Be sure not to boil.
Add about ½ cup of the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk constantly until combined.
Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.Heat the saucepan on low. Stirring constantly, heat until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take a few minutes.
Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any pieces of egg that may have cooked.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap making sure to have the plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream base. This will help keep it from forming a skin while chilling. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to the Cuisinart manufacturer’s instructions (mine took about 20 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
In the last two minutes, add your add-ins and flavors, and churn until they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan. Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use quality ingredients –When making homemade ice cream, you’ll want to make sure you are using high quality ingredients for the best outcome.
Chill out –If possible, always start with chilled ingredients. This is important for homemade no-churn ice cream recipes and ice cream maker recipes.
Don’t skimp on the fat –High fat milks and creams are essential when making homemade ice cream. Opting for a low-fat option often leads to icy ice creams and inconsistency in the texture.
Don’t go crazy with the add-ins –If you’re adding in additional ingredients, pick one or two and make sure they are chopped into small pieces.
Don’t skimp on the sugar –Sugar not only adds sweetness to homemade ice creams, it also helps with the texture. Sugar is essential for the creamy texture in ice cream.
