Recipes created with a Cuisinart ice cream maker bring an extraordinary joy that’s smooth, sweet, and absolutely delicious.

From the classics like rum raisin and peanut butter pudding to more adventurous concoctions like lemon sorbet and chocolate chip toffee bits, this list has it all.

The trick to making ice cream with a Cuisinart is to follow the recipe exactly.

Best of all, though, you can use any kind of frozen treat you like.

From pumpkins to peaches, there’s something for everyone on this list of 25 easy ice cream recipes.

1. Pumpkin Ice Cream

This pumpkin ice cream is the perfect way to sneak in all that pumpkin spice.

A little bit of sugar and some spices makes this ice cream extra special.

3. Maple Walnut Ice Cream

If you’re looking for a creamy treat that tastes like summer, this maple and walnut ice cream is the one for you.

It’s sweet with just a hint of nutty goodness, and it’s super filling.

You can make it at home or buy some ready-made.

Either way, it’s fantastic.

This recipe uses relatively few ingredients, but they are all high quality and include plenty of flavor.

I love the bright color contrast from the lemon juice in this recipe.

It really pops against the white background making every bite taste brighter than the last.

Crushed ice is the perfect way to cool down.

Just scoop some with your favorite flavor and pour it into a popsicle mold.

Then, enjoy cold banana ice cream on the go!

It’s creamy, sweet, and totally delicious.

And best of all, it’s easy to make.

All you need is a lot of blending power, ice cubes, and a blender!

7. Lemon Gelato Recipe

Lemon gelato is another gelato option that’s almost as fresh and zesty as the strawberry one above.

Plus, it’s much lighter in flavor than most of its citrusy options.

It still has a lot of lemon flavor, though.

And if you like your gelato to be extra frothy and tasty, this recipe is perfect for you.

Simply blend the lemon juice with sugar until it turns clear.

Then add it to the mix along with some heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Just pour it into a suitable container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Then, drizzle some more heavy cream over top and serve!

This peach ice cream recipe is a basic, all-purpose recipe for making homemade and delicious ice cream.

It’s super easy to make too, so it’s perfect for the busy cook who doesn’t have time to mess around.

This mint chocolate chip ice cream is so good, it’s hard to believe it’s vegan.

It has all the classic flavors of mint and chocolate.

And this version includes some sea salt for extra crunchy texture.

The best part?

It takes only 10 minutes to make!

11. Pistachio Pudding Ice Cream

The only thing better than a scoop of ice cream is a big slice.

So, I can’t recommend this pistachio pudding enough.

I think the thin layer of cocoa powder in the topping gives it a super smooth texture that’s just wonderful.

It makes the whole thing feel more like real ice cream, which is exactly what you want.

If you want to make it thicker, use half and half instead of milk, and try adding some chopped nuts or dried pistachios!

12. The Best Rum Raisin Ice Cream

This is the ice cream for you if you love rum and raisins.

It’s sweet, spicy, and has the best texture.

It’s also pretty darn easy to make.

First, you need a good Virginia Rum.

I prefer Esoterica brand, but most are fine.

Next, get some vanilla ice cream (or another flavor of your choice) then add in your chopped raisins and rum-flavored syrup.

Finally, scatter a little more raisins over top.

That’s all it takes to keep this ice cream nice and sticky!

Bake it in the oven until it gets warm and gooey.

It only takes around 10 minutes.

13. Strawberry Ice Cream

Here’s a tasty recipe for strawberry ice cream.

It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it’s insanely creamy.

It’s also easy to make.

Just blend your favorite frozen berries with sugar, cream, and vanilla until thickened.

It’s ready in just 15 minutes!

Snickerdoodle ice cream is the perfect combination of sweet and salty.

But what could be better than crunchy cookies and a scoop of chocolate ice cream?

Add some chopped nuts on top for an extra burst of flavor.

15. Coffee Frozen Yogurt

Coffee ice cream is a classic that has been around for decades.

But with the convenience of frozen yogurt, you can enjoy it without going to the trouble to make your own.

You’ll still have all the flavors of ice cream in this recipe, but you won’t have any waste!

Blend together vanilla yogurt, sugar, espresso powder, and milk until smooth and pour into an ice cream maker.

(I like to use my Ninja because it makes such creamy flavors.)

16. Butter Pecan Ice Cream

You might think that ice cream is made with the same ingredients as regular ice cream, but you’d be wrong.

This butter pecan ice cream is creamy, sweet, and absolutely delicious.

Though it’s light and refreshing, you can feel its rich flavor in every spoonful.

It has a unique texture that makes this ice cream even more indulgent than it already is.

The crunch from the nuts adds a nice contrast to the softness of the vanilla.

Together with sugar-free chocolate syrup and a few drops of vanilla extract, this recipe gives you an authentic blend of flavors.

17. Watermelon Sorbet

18. Blackberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe

I was so excited to try this recipe!

Blackberries are a great way to add some sweetness and a touch of tartness.

And this frozen yogurt is full of flavor, thanks to the blackberry jam and vanilla yogurt.

It’s sweet, tangy, and so refreshing.

It has a subtle amount of berries that’ll instantly satisfy your sweet tooth without overwhelming it with too much sugar.

19. Dark Chocolate Ice Cream

I’m always on the hunt for new and inventive ways to turn ice cream into desserts.

This dark chocolate ice cream is just one of those ideas.

Mix cocoa powder, evaporated milk, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk.

Then add a little bit of white chocolate to bring out its full flavor.

Once you have that ready, layer it in an ice cream maker and freeze gently until it starts to set.

Don’t worry; it won’t be too hard.

It will still be soft enough to scoop!

20. Orange Sherbet

This recipe is all about the tangy goodness.

The best part of this orange sherbet?

It’s creamy and not too sweet.

It’s a perfect treat for cooling your summer heat!

The traditional method of making orange sherbet involves combining sugar with lemon juice, giving you a rich and citrusy taste.

But what if you wanted to make it even more fruity?

How about using orange marmalade instead?

It adds an extra layer of flavor to the already delicious sherbet.

You can also use vanilla ice cream in place of lemon if you prefer something less sweet.

Either way, it’s still incredibly tasty.

21. Cheesecake Ice Cream

Do you want to experience the joy of cheesecake ice cream?

This recipe is for you!

The base uses a mix of heavy whipping cream and whipped cream.

The result is ultra-creamy, decadent, and just plain yummy.

It’s perfect when served with a simple caramel drizzle on top.

22. Coconut Sorbet

This coconut sorbet is an out-of-this-world dessert.

It’s creamy, sweet, and so simple to make.

For this sorbet recipe, you’ll only need three ingredients: water, sugar syrup (or honey), and Thai chili sauce.

Add anything else you like to the mix to create a flavor profile that suits your taste.

I like using coconut milk for this because it has a deeper flavor than regular milk.

Plus, it adds a wonderfully tropical taste to the overall dish.

23. Creamy Vanilla Custard Ice Cream

Forget about the spoon because this ice cream is so creamy and totally addictive.

I’m talking about a rich, smooth vanilla custard that you can enjoy on its own or with some dark chocolate flakes.

But wait, there’s more!

The secret to this recipe is to use natural coconut milk.

It gives your ice cream a unique tropical flavor while keeping it silky smooth.

24. Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream

This recipe makes the most amazing orange creamsicle ice cream.

It’s creamy, rich, and very sweet.

You’ll whip up a batch of heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla for this one.

Add your favorite fruits to the mix (orange works great with cherries).

If you want something super-tropical, try adding some mango chunks or pineapple chunks.

25. Chocolate Chip Toffee Bits Ice Cream

If you’ve never made toffee before, I can’t believe how simple it is.

You need to heat your brown sugar and butter until they melt.

Then add the peanuts, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips and stir until smooth.

Just know that when you go over the edges with a spatula, expect to see some nice cracks.

That’s why I suggest using a metal whisk or sturdy spoon.

You might even need a second helping!
