Making this delicious homemade sweet cream ice cream is a fun and rewarding experience for ice cream lovers. It’s a quick and easy recipe that you can make in less than fifteen minutes. However, there are still a few tips and reminders that you should know about perfecting your Cold Stone ice cream recipe.

Use cornstarch as a thickener. Since we’re only recreating the flavor, we don’t need to buy the guar gum they use in their sweet cream ice cream. We’re substituting it with cornstarch, which is a common ingredient that can also thicken ice cream properly.
Top with flavorings. The Cold Stone ice cream toppings are the perfect finishing touch to any of their desserts. That’s why for this sweet cream ice cream it’s best to add solid or liquid flavorings on top. You can add nuts, fruits, or cookie crumbs and top it off with some chocolate or caramel sauce.
Cover with plastic wrap when storing in the freezer. This is to prevent ice crystals from forming and spoiling your ice cream.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can whipping cream be substituted for heavy cream?

Yes, whipping cream can be used as a substitute for heavy cream in this ice cream recipe. For ice cream recipes, higher fat content in the liquid cream is essential since it’s thicker and more stable when combined with other ingredients. That’s why heavy creams are used since it has 36% to 40% of fat content. Its suitable alternative would be whipping cream which has a slightly similar fat content of 30% to 36%.

How long can homemade ice cream be stored?

Homemade ice creams properly stored in the freezer can last up to two months. Unlike store-bought ice creams, homemade ice creams don’t have added preservatives or stabilizers that can extend their shelf life. To know if your ice cream has gone bad or spoiled, there should be visible ice shards under the lid and on top of the ice cream. Another sign would be to check if it’s too gooey and runny to eat.
