Top 10 List: Favorite Ice Cream Recipes
[We continue to update the "Top 10″ series of posts with ice cream!]
Ahh, ice cream. In the summer, nothing beats a trip to the local ice cream stand for my customary order – a chocolate and vanilla twist with chocolate sprinkles. Ever since I got the ice cream attachment for my KitchenAid mixer years ago, there is usually a constant supply of homemade ice cream in my freezer. Since I started making my own ice cream, I have tried tons of recipes and have pretty much enjoyed them all, but like anything, I definitely have my favorites! Since summer is knocking on the door for many of us, I thought that ice cream would be a great pick for another Top 10 List installment. Enjoy!
(If you don’t have an ice cream maker or attachment, you can still enjoy homemade ice cream! Check out my tutorial: How to Make Homemade Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker)

What's your favorite ice cream recipe??
All these recipes make me excited for summer! That butter pecan is calling my name.
I should not be reading this when dieting! My favorite flavor right now is peanut butter cup. Yum!
This post is magical! Thank you! I can’t wait to make the butter pecan and the salted caramel especially.
Have you tried making ice cream using a non-dairy milk? I’ve never even made ice cream before, but now I have to! I just wouldn’t be able to eat any.
Hi Alisa, I have not but I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t use soy, almond or rice milk. Go for it!
I LOVE ice cream and now I need to get that attachment for my mixer. Good thing I saw this before I bought one of those counter top ice cream makers (we have a crank one that requires ice and rock salt…two things we never keep on hand!). My favorite was a dark chocolate with a peanut butter ribbon and choc/PB candies that I had last summer at the little ice cream shack down the road. Yum!! We are blessed to live next to a cherry orchard here in MI, so we did make an outstanding custard with sweet cherries and dark chocolate….
Jodi, I hope you see this!! I am your neighbor in IN…….I would love to know when the cherries are ready…I know it is early in the summer/late spring….
I love making cherry pie filling, plus this ice cream recipe sounds divine!!!!
Cherries are usually ready the end of June/early July. The Cherry Festival in Traverse City (pretty far north) is 4th of July weekend, so most will be ready by then. Yum!!
Thanks for posting this compilation of recipes just in time for ice cream season! They look wonderful and I want to try the pistachio first. King Arthur’s most recent catalog has a chocolate ice cream that looks good, too.
Since i am and ice cream fanatic this is my kind of post. LOVE IT! I have to try your salted ice cream recipe that you just recently did, just looks fabulous. That strawberry looks good too. Oh who am i kidding they all look fabulous :) Here is something for you, it is a chocolate gelato recipe but it was out of this world. I am not a gelato fan but i loved it. Trust me you will love it too! – http://delishhh.com/2011/03/16/chocolate-gelato/
I’m such a classic vanilla girl. Your recipe is lovely!
I wish I made my own ice cream… it looks so good! But Ben & Jerry’s has just brought out a new coconut flavour, so I’ll settle on that :D
Oh man, I have to get out my ice cream maker for the season! I think my favorite ice cream I’ve made so far is pumpkin ice cream. Mmm.
the pistachio ice cream looks very nom-able right now. First day of sun in a LONG TIME and I’m feeling springy.
Yay…love these! I pulled out my ice cream maker at the end of last summer and had pretty decent success with the basic recipes I tried. This list has quite a few that I’d like to advance to this year…the butter pecan and salted caramel are standing out, for sure!! : )
I am completely in love with my Kitchenaid ice cream attachment. I have three pints of ice cream in my freezer right now and I’m having difficulty restraining myself from making another kind. With only myself and my boyfriend in the house, it doesn’t disappear as fast as I want to make it! Especially now that I have a new list from your top favorites!
These look so tempting! Thanks for the list. I just got my mixer and am planning to get the ice cream maker attachment soon.
thank you for the list. i seriously want to try them all! my ice cream maker is getting a lot of use lately :)
OMG..I don’t think I could turn down any of those flavors. Butter pecan is my FAV!
What a scrumptious looking post. Must check out your tutorial on making ice cream without an ice cream maker. All your photos are making me wish the sun would come out around here!
Nothing beats coffee ice cream! But I do love chocolate and cinnamon, too. An ice cream place I used to frequent in New Haven, CT (Ashley’s) used to have chocolate raspberry which was AMAZING. And coffee oreo. Mmmm. They rotated flavors (seemingly at random) so you never knew when they would have what, though.
My favorite flavor is coffee and it is conspicuously among the missing.
Hi Elle, I do have an Espresso Ice Cream recipe, it just didn’t make my personal top 10 (probably because I’m not much of a coffee person!). Here it is:

I’m a vanilla fan through and through… although recently I’ve been wooed by Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream and the Dark Chocolate Ice Cream recipe I posted today!
Oh now you are really making me want an ice cream maker! I love ice cream. In this warm weather we’ve been having, my husband and I have been craving ice cream a lot in the evenings! I want to try some of these delicious looking recipes!
As much as I love all of the interesting flavors out there, when I get to the ice cream stand I always order soft serve vanilla with chocolate sprinkles.
Home is another story, though. I plan to try a bunch of your top 10 here. I know I will start with the salted caramel.
Perfect timing! I just bought an ice cream maker this weekend and have been looking for some recipes to try out this weekend. I think my favorite ice cream is strawberry cheesecake. Delish!
I had a strawberry cheesecake ice cream cone from a little place in Annapolis, MD. I *LOVED* it!! I need to try replicating it this summer!
Ah all of those look amazing! I can NOT wait to have access to an ice cream maker this summer!
I got an ice cream attachment for Mother’s Day..we have already tried vanilla, mint chip (twice) and choc. peanut butter…oh my!!! LOVE MY GIFT!!!!!!!! Thanks for more yummy recipes!!!!
Wow these all look amazing. I’m with your granma, the cherry and almond one sounds divine. The best ice cream I’ve ever tasted was a roasted hazelnut ice cream while in Italy. AMAZING!
Oooh – you are killing me – which to try first?
I was just thinking this morning that I am so glad that ice cream season is approaching!
Thanks so much for all of these fantastic ideas – I especially love the cherry and pistachio ones.
This is terrific! My husband and I were just discussing this weekend that it was time to resume ice cream production now that summer is approaching. :-)
I will take a scoop of each please!! I gotta get me an ice cream maker! ASAP!!
