    ✔️ Why should you try it?

    • Easy to make, no churn crunchie bar ice cream
    • Soft and scoopable
    • No ice cream maker required
    • No additives or preservatives like shop-bought ice cream
    • Easy to vary the flavours

    What is no churn ice cream?

    No churn ice cream is made without an ice cream maker. Ice cream machines churn the mixture as it freezes, to thicken it. No churn ice cream is made differently, by whisking the mixture until quite stiff.

    Ice cream makers are notoriously bulky, so now I have perfected this no-churn ice cream recipe, I'm seriously tempted to get rid of mine, and free up some space in the cupboard and freezer (you need to keep the bowl for the ice cream maker in your freezer which takes up so much room!).

    🥘 Ingredients

    Only 5 ingredients are needed to make this easy no-churn honeycomb ice cream recipe;

    • Double Cream (heavy cream)
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk
    • Vanilla Bean Paste - or use a good quality vanilla extract.
    • Crunchie Bars - or other chocolate coated honeycomb.
    • White Chocolate Chips - alternatively you could use milk chocolate chips.

    The sweet crunchy chocolate honeycomb complements the silky smooth vanilla ice cream so well. It's a flavour match made in heaven!

    🥄 Equipment

    An electric whisk and mixing bowl are all you need to make this no-churn honeycomb ice cream, plus a container for freezing it. No ice cream maker is required!

    🔪 Instructions

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Place the double cream and condensed milk in a large bowl and whisk the creamy mixture until quite stiff. This will probably take you at least 5 minutes.

    Two: Fold through the vanilla bean paste, crushed crunchie bars, and white chocolate chips until well combined.

    Three: Pour into a 2lb loaf tin or freezer-safe container and place in your freezer, for at least 4 hours before you want to serve it.

    Four: Take the ice cream out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving, to allow it to soften up and make scooping it easier.

    Step-by-step photo instructions for making the recipe

    💭 Top tips

    You can use a handheld electric whisk or a standing mixer with a whisk attachment, to make this no-churn ice cream.

    When folding in the crushed up honeycomb and white chocolate chips, be careful not to beat the air out of the mixture. Gently fold with a metal spoon or spatula.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    When it comes to ice cream, there's really no better way of serving it than in a waffle cone, with a flake and some strawberry coulis.

    I also like serving ice cream with hot puddings, for an impressive dessert. This honeycomb ice cream goes really well with Strawberry Cobbler, Apple and Mincemeat Crumble, Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies, Biscoff Blondies, or Raspberry Brownies.

    At Christmas, I often serve the ice cream with my white chocolate and cranberry brownies as an alternative to Christmas pudding on Christmas Day!

    One of the kid's favourite desserts in the summer is ice cream sandwiches, made with chunky oatmeal cinnamon cookies and honeycomb ice cream. Delicious!

    And don't forget a scoop on buttermilk pancakes for a special weekend breakfast!

    📖 Variations

    The possibilities are endless with this basic no-churn ice cream recipe. You could replace the chocolate honeycomb and white chocolate chips with any of the following combinations;

    • Fresh raspberries and blackcurrant coulis.
    • Marshmallows, milk chocolate chips and crushed digestives biscuits for a 'rocky road' style ice cream.
    • Blueberries and crushed up meringue pieces.
    • Fudge pieces and peanut butter chips.

    🥡 Storage

    The crunchie bar ice cream has to be stored in the freezer! You can freeze it in a loaf tin or alternatively a Tupperware container with a lid.

    The ice cream will keep for up to a month, but it won't last that long (it's sooo good, you won't be able to resist!). Homemade ice cream doesn't keep as long as shop-bought ice cream, because it doesn't have preservatives in it.

    ❓ FAQS

    What does no-churn ice cream mean?

    No churn ice cream does not require an ice cream maker. Ice cream makers can be quite bulky and take up valuable space, no-churn ice cream is, therefore, a great option for people who do not have room for an ice cream machine, but still want to make their own homemade ice cream.

    Why is my ice cream hard?

    Hard ice cream is usually the result of not whisking it fast enough or for long enough. The faster it is whipped, the more air gets into it, which makes it lighter and softer in texture.

    Does homemade ice cream taste good?

    Homemade ice cream is free from the additives and preservatives often found in shop-bought ice cream, and therefore has a superior taste and flavour!

        I've always wanted to make my own ice cream but always thought it would be a lot of gar work or that I'd need a specialist machine but this looks like something I could do. The ice cream looks delicious and I love the flavour.

      Amazingly easy and very tasty. I used twice as much cream as I had seen similar proportions in another recipe and I wanted it less sweet. I also used only cinder toffee, not crunchie bar, and no extra chocolate. Just as good as the more complicated version!
