The recipe is divided into three simple parts; the ice cream, caramel swirl and lastly, the declaration. Worth all the effort and tastes better than you expect.
Coconut Peach Ice Cream
The first two words of this recipe should have already sold you like it did me!

Salted Caramel and Baileys Ice Cream
Hopefully you can source the almond-based Baileys liqueur. This is a treat on its own, use it as an ingredient to an ice cream recipe and, oh my goodness!
Get some store-bought vanilla ice cream as well, or you can make your own. Altogether just a handful of ingredients and you get the perfect combination of flavors.
Bite-sized cookies and ice cream? What’s there not to like?
If you’re thinking these are complicated and maybe expensive to make, think again. I totally love the ingredients and promise your taste buds will be thanking me! OK, that sounds weird!
Vanilla Ice Cream
Different ideas are all well and good, but sometimes you just want a classic. After all, classic dishes have stood the test of time for a reason, right?
This is a real fancy and high-quality recipe. The author even included a video taking you through each step and we don’t often see that!

Another classic and trust me, the author didn’t describe this as ‘creamy’ for no reason. This is serious stuff!

I know what you’re thinking, ‘Sweet Potato in ice cream?’ Stay with me.
I guarantee this doesn’t taste anything other than delicious. I’d even go as far and say this is healthy! Love the color! Try it and then write and tell me I was right.
Chocolate Mint Bubblegum Ice Cream
Chocolate Mint? Bubblegum? Ice cream? Oh, the stuff of childhood dreams. This recipe is by far the most appealing to my inner child. If these flavors aren’t everything a kid has ever wanted, I don’t know what is.
You’ll need to buy the gum to make this perfect, and it’s recommended to use an ice cream maker. However, there is a freezer method referenced at the end, so don’t despair. The gum is also added in at the end, so you could skip it and still have an amazing minty delight.

Moose Tracks Ice Cream
A wonderfully inventive recipe. I love the title!
The ingredients are easy to source so you won’t have any problems there. The secret to this recipe is in the directions. Follow them carefully and you’ll be guaranteed a treat!

It may seem like a little effort as you need to make the cookie dough as well as the ice cream for this. However, I promise you the end result is completely worth it. One of my favorites!
Maple Walnut Nice Cream
I think the title of this recipe tells us all we need to know; maple and walnuts were made to go together.

Millions of peaches, peaches for me! Oh, how I love peach season! There’s nothing like a fresh peach…except maybe the all year availability of canned peaches! This ice cream works so well with canned peaches you’ll be making this delicious confection regularly!
Simple ingredients, simple method. You don’t even need an ice cream churn. Make sure you follow all the steps to achieve the perfect creaminess you’re dreaming of. It’s worth every step!
Mocha Chip Banana Ice Cream
I saw the recipe title, I saw the photo, I was hooked and for good reason!
If you like coffee flavored ice cream, this is going to be a hit. Just five ingredients is all you need! The base of this treat is frozen bananas whizzed in a food processor. I can’t say enough about this, make it now!
Avocado Ice Cream Recipe
A few years ago when I first saw avocado as the main ingredient in a dessert, I was a little sceptical. I was naïvely worried my ice cream would taste of guacamole. Beginners’ mistake!

Activated Charcoal Ice Cream
Now this really intrigued me, activated charcoal and of course, you get unusual looking ice cream, to say the least.
You know what? This works and works well. Perfect for Halloween or when you just want something different.
Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Ice Cream
Sweet potato as an ice cream ingredient? You bet! It makes it light without adding any flavor, that comes from all the other great ingredients such as coconut, vanilla, peanut butter and more.
The amounts listed in the ingredients make four cups so adjust as necessary. Tastes great!
Coconut Pineapple Nice Cream
Let’s get tropical!
How many ingredients in this? Two! Get your food processor switched on and if you want to go that extra mile, serve in a hollowed-out pineapple as illustrated fantastic!

Mango Coconut Milk Ice Cream
Two of my favorite tropical flavors in one dish!
This ice cream has just three ingredients. Whiz everything in a blender or even food processor and you’re good to go.
Freeze and mix. Everything is in the easy-to-follow instructions.
Rose Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream
If you think making a ripple ice cream is difficult to make, think again.
The recipe here is divided into two sections, one for the ice cream and one for the raspberry coulis.
It’s easier than you think and certainly looks classy. Make it and nobody will guess you made it yourself!
Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This ice cream is perfect for a hot summer day, or if you’re longing for summer in the middle of a wintery blast. Either way, it’s a perfect combination of sweet and creamy with a hint of tang. It truly tastes like a blended slice of luxuriously decadent cheesecake. But without all the fuss.

A wonderfully unique flavor ice cream that will surprise even the most experienced ice cream connoisseur. Easy to make, even better to eat!
No-Churn Cranberry Cointreau Coconut Ice Cream
It’s true, unless you have an ice cream maker, you have to freeze your mixture for a short time, remove, stir, freeze again, remove stir and so on. It’s definitely worth the effort but recipes like this one take all of that effort away.
Lovely ingredients, probably one of the easiest ice creams you’re going to make. Try it! You won’t be disappointed.

How many ingredients in this delicious wonder? Just two! Follow the simple four-step instructions and you have a refreshing and delicious ice cream.
You just need a blender or food processor. When using the latter, take a little more time but just watch the mixture go through different stages until it becomes ice cream.
Cherry Chocolate Soft Serve Ice Cream
You don’t often see cherry-flavored ice creams, so I was excited to come across this.
Not only do you get the distinctive flavor of cherry in every bite, the ice cream has a beautiful deep color due to these wonderful fruits. Love it!
Super Easy Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars
When I see recipes that describe themselves as being super easy, I often wonder if that means they’re not! This one really is!

Healthy Churro “Unfried” Ice Cream
You have to admit that this is probably the most unusual recipe title you’ve ever seen. It certainly is for me.
Just grab three ingredients and follow the easy instructions.
The amounts listed make for 10 of them but there is a tool that allows you to alter the servings and this changes the amounts in the ingredients. A thumbs up!
Simple Biscoff Ice Cream
I was sold in this recipe from the moment I saw the picture!
You don’t need a special machine to create this tasty wonder, your regular food processor will do the job just fine.
You’ll need to be able to find cookies listed although it your unable to, simply swap with your favorite.

Cherry Garcia ice cream? Nobody can make that, you have to buy it from the store right? Wrong!
No weird chemical ingredients in this ice cream that is literally bursting with flavor! Healthiest and tastiest Cherry Garcia ever!
Brownie Oatmeal with Banana Ice Cream
This is so much more than an ice cream. If you like the contrast of something hot with something cold, this is the recipe for you.
As you can imagine, the recipe is split into two sections. Both the brownie oatmeal and the banana ice cream are solid recipes in their own right. Put them together and it’s pure magic!
Birthday Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches
Okay there’s no denying it, as the title suggests these will be perfect for a birthday party.
But that means you’re not going to eat them very often and we can’t have that. This is just too good!
Ice cream sandwiches are the best and this recipe takes it to the next level. I love the sprinkles. The most difficult part is to find a reason to make them, wait a minute, we don’t need a reason!
