I love ice cream.
I love to make ice cream.
Back in Febraury, I shared an awesome recipe for homemade ice cream, Philadelphia-style, but there are a lot of possible variations that I failed to mention.
Do you know what Philadelphia style ice cream means? It is easy. Philadelphia style ice cream has no eggs and requires no cooking. It’s most simply cream and sugar with flavorings added. This is different from custard style ice cream, which is cooked slowly and contains eggs. It’s a much heartier ice cream, but requires considerably more work.
Wendy’s Philadelphia-Style Vanilla Ice Cream
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Dash of salt
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla – I use Mexican vanilla that we bought on our honeymoon, so I use half that amount.
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer.
- Mix in your ice cream maker as directed.
- If you use the ice cream right out of the machine, it will have a soft serve consistency. For harder ice cream, put it into an airtight container and freeze overnight.
Other flavors of homemade ice cream
Once you have a basic recipe like this one, it’s easy to make a variety of flavors.
For fruit-flavored ice cream, I add fresh fruit. You can use strawberries, cherries, peaches, pineapple, bananas… you’re really limited only by your imagination.
- For a fruit and cream consistency – Mash fruit coarsely with a fork. Add 1 1/2 cups of mashed fruit in step one. Proceed as directed.
- For a homogeneously fruity consistency – Puree fruit in the blender. Add 1 cup of pureed fruit in step one. Proceed as directed.
For chocolate ice cream, you have a lot of options. When making chocolate ice cream, I cut the vanilla in half.
- Chocolate syrup – Add 1/3 to 2/3 cup of syrup in step one
- Melted chocolate - Melt a couple of handfuls of chocolate chips with a few tablespoons of heavy cream. Add in step one. In step two, refrigerate until well chilled. It may take a couple of hours.
- Cocoa powder – Mix 1/2 cup cocoa powder in step one. Taste for sweetness, you may need to add extra sugar.
For other flavors, you can experiment with liquors or flavor extracts. Be careful to use only a tablespoon at a time, and do a lot of tasting.
I’d love to hear what you’re making!

No eggs? Did you say NO EGGS?! OMG, yes you did! I love you, love you, love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’re egg allergic, and so far I’ve been able to find only one ice cream recipe that works. It’s a bit more complicated than this. I think I’ll have to try yours this weekend.
Oh, happy day!

Homemade ice cream is certainly one of the Finer Things of summer! I finished up a batch of strawberry vanilla just last night.

This sounds good. I have never made ice cream at home before. I was given an ice cream machine. I want to try sometime this summer.

Awesome. I have not made homemade Ice cream in ages- that means years and years and years! I love it, but just have not done it. Your post is making me rethink my lack of doing it.
Now to find the ice cream maker!
Thanks for sharing.

I have a fantastic recipe for pomegranate ice cream that doesn’t need an ice cream maker or to have crystals broken up, etc. Mix and freeze until solid.

I took a cooking class once and someone brought in coconut ice cream which they made with coconut milk. It was delicious, and I’m not even a big fan of coconut. Thanks for the great tips.

yum. I LOVE ice cream and make all of ours homemade. Your vanilla is rather similar to mine, and it’s delicious.
Sometimes I add in cake mix for a cake-batter ice cream!

I have never made ice cream before. I’m not even sure I’ve ever tasted home made ice cream. How does it differ from store bought?

Thanks for the recipe. We’re planning on getting an ice cream maker soon, so I hope to put it to good use. I noticed you have a Rival ice cream maker, does it work well for you?

Stacy – It does work well. I’ve never had a problem with it, and I’ve had it almost ten years. I do wish I had a bigger one because I have to make multiple batches if company is coming. Aside from that, though, I’ve never had any complaints with it.
