Q&A for How to Make Ice Cream in a Blender with Milk

Take an ice cube tray, freeze the water, and when the ice is frozen, take it out of the freezer and stab the ice with a wooden spoon or rolling pin.

Yes, although the consistency may be a little less creamy than if you use milk.

It should be runny because it just came out of the blender, but if you put it in the freezer, it will turn into ice cream consistency.

It serves one person, but if you like, you can double or triple the ingredients if you need more.

You can put it back in the freezer for storage just as you would with ice cream you purchase.

Full fat milk will give you a creamy texture. If you're health conscious and don't mind a less creamy texture, you can use milk with lesser fat content.

You can add anything you like; the possibilities are endless. You can also add fruits: pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate, etc. You can also add honey on top as a sweetener instead of corn syrup. Corn syrup isn't the healthiest of options.

Yes, absolutely. (Just keep in mind that adding blueberries might turn your ice cream purple.)

Try other flavoring methods, like fruit or syrup. Cookies are also an excellent alternative. Use the vanilla you have (if you have some), and crumble up some cookies!

It won't matter for the final product, so you can do whichever you prefer. However, the instructions recommend crushing the ice by itself.

Just use normal liquid milk that you can get at the grocery store. You can use any milk fat percentage. The fattier the milk is, the creamier the ice cream will be.

You can follow these steps while including some chocolate syrup, melted chocolate, chocolate chips, or chocolate milk.

You might have put too much ice in. You also ou not have blended the ice enough before adding the other ingredients.

Yes, you can use regular milk you buy from a store. Remember, the fattier the milk that you use, the creamier your ice cream will be.

Yes! However, it's advised that you add them after blending so they won't just be crushed into the ice cream.

Yes, just sweeten to taste.

Yes. It makes the ice cream thicker.

Use different extracts or syrups.

Yes. If you want a healthier recipe, blend frozen strawberries with a banana, and don't add liquid to it.

Do you have ice trays? Just make some ice ahead of time. Otherwise you could still try it, you'll just have to put it in the freezer to solidify before eating.

It should be blended until it forms a thick consistency, probably between 45 seconds to 1 minute.

The amount of time will vary depending on the blender. Blend until smooth.

Yes, but if you want a stronger strawberry flavor, I suggest lowering the amount of vanilla extract (but still keeping some for flavor enhancement).

Yes, but you can add the ice slowly as you blend to prevent your blender from getting stuck or burned out.

There's really no limit. Use vanilla extract for vanilla. If you'd like chocolate, however, use a quarter of the recommended vanilla extract amount and add chocolate syrup to your liking. Basically, to use fruit, juices, yogurt or any other flavorings, you need to lessen the amount of vanilla extract.

The sugar is just used as a sweetener, so it's optional. If you don't want your ice cream as sweet, don't add as much sugar.

Just use any water-soluble or emulsion-based flavoring extract. Chocolate, butterscotch and caramel syrups are fine.

Of course! Organic sugar will work fine.

You don't need to add the vanilla if you do not want to.

Yes. but it will also be sweeter.
