No Ice Cream Machine Required: 50 + Sweet Treat Recipes

These 50 delicious no ice cream machine recipes will really hit the spot this summer. They’re so easy to make with no ice cream maker required!

50 No Ice Cream Maker Recipes

If I am honest, summer is not my favorite time of the year. I HATE heat and I despise the sun. Gardening makes summertime survivable. So does Ice Cream and other frozen sweets! As I go farther in my trek towards Real Food and Healthy Living, I have learned that homemade foods, including desserts, are always better for you than the pre-made stuff at the grocery store. Plus, you can be creative! 

The problem I soon discovered while searching through Ice Cream recipes in Internet-land is that many of them look SUPER good, but alas, you need an ice cream maker. Since I prefer a life with as few objects as possible (a quest toward minimalism, I suppose), I refuse to buy an ice cream machine. I soon found myself keeping a list of recipes that do NOT use an ice cream machine, and I thought to myself the other day: “Hey! I wonder if other people would like to see my list…”

This is my list of over 50 Ice cream-type desserts that do NOT require an ice cream machine. I did not add popsicles because I have always considered them a different category. This list DOES contain recipes including: ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, granitas, and gelato. This list also contains Real food recipes, Paleo, vegan, dairy free, sugar free, and grain free recipes

Please note: I try very hard to focus on as healthy-as-possible frozen sweet treats. However, my eating philosophy is the 80-20 rule, as in, 80% of the time, I eat as healthy as possible, and 20% of the time, I stop obsessing about things. With that in mind, MOST of these recipes avoid sugar, but SOME recipes include it. If you avoid all sugar, either ignore those recipes, or make a healthier version with honey or maple syrup.
