Tips On Making A No-Churn Grape Ice Cream
Grapes have a high water content, which many find difficult to work with when it comes to making ice cream because it freezes rock hard, making it very difficult to scoop and enjoy. With our recipe, however, you can easily make grape flavored ice cream with only basic kitchen supplies. Worry not, because you won’t be needing an ice cream maker for this one! To make it even easier, here are some useful tips in making this recipe the fuss-free way:
- Freeze your ice cream container for 24 to 48 hours before starting this recipe. A metal or glass container will work best for this one, as it keeps cold for a longer time at room temperature.
- Use heavy cream. This will give you a thick, smooth, and creamy consistency. Heavy cream has a higher fat content than milk so it won’t turn rock hard or frozen solid.
- Pour your mixture into your frozen container while it chills over an ice bath.
- Use plastic to cover your ice cream. It’s important to cover the container with plastic so the mixture doesn’t crystallize or form icy droplets on its surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can you substitute for heavy cream?
Almost any milk will do for all ice cream flavors, including this grape flavored one. You would want ingredients with a high fat content such as whole milk, milk mixed with cornstarch, or butter with milk. Tofu, coconut milk, or soy milk work well if you want to make this vegan. Using them will ensure your mixture will be creamy when frozen.
How do you make homemade ice cream thicker?
You can use a mixture of cream, sugar, and egg yolks but you would have to temper the eggs before cooking it with the cream and sugar. Easier options would be to use all purpose flour or cornstarch in your ice cream mixture just before churning.
