No Ice Cream Maker? No Problem!

We write a blog about frozen treats. Unfortunately, many of our recipes require special equipment: an ice cream maker. While an ice cream maker can be quite affordable, it still takes up space in the kitchen and it's still something else to buy.

Tina and I would probably be lost without our ice cream makers, but that's not to say you can't make your own frozen (and delicious) treats without one. Popsicles can be as simple as juice and a stick in a cup placed in the freezer. Granitas are often frozen in a shallow dish and scraped every so often. 

Ice cream too, can be made without an ice cream maker. Sure, it's a bit more time consuming, but as David Lebovitz says in his great article about ice cream without an ice cream maker, "People have been making ice cream far longer than the invention of electricity so there’s no reason you can’t make ice cream and sorbets at home without a machine."

Just the other day my fabulous sister forwarded along this recipe for Lemon Ice Cream without a machine with a note: "sounds delicious & refreshing!" While neither of us have made it yet, it sounds great.

While I am busy creating a bunch of ice cream for an event I'm having at the end of July, making ice cream without a machine right now isn't an option time-wise. But it's something I'd like to try. I'm curious. Have you ever done it? Was it good?

I'll hopefully test some of these recipes in the future.

Ice Cream Monsters by Erik X. Raj

A while back we got an email from Erik Raj telling us about a book he wrote for the iPad, Ice Cream Monsters. He asked if we'd like to take a peek and we agreed.

Ice Cream Monsters is a cute story for kids about embracing our differences: "Some ice cream monsters have [blank]...some ice cream monsters don't," each page reads. It then goes on to say how even though the monsters are different, they are still friends.

The pages graced with wonderful (and interactive) illustrations.

The book can be read on your own or have it read to you by Raj.


It's a short story that's fun and easy for kids to grasp. I haven't tried it yet with my own almost-two-year-old -- she might be a little young. It's recommended for the 4+ crowd. 


Check out the demo here!


It's an inexpensive purchase at the App Store, but if you leave a comment by Friday, you can be entered to win a promo code to get it for free!

Thanks for sharing, Erik!
