Hi, Gemma! I made this ice cream and the butter pecan version on Friday, and both only lasted two days. They are spectacular!! I love your videos, especially the homemade ice cream ones. I’ve also made the dulce de leche, which was mind-blowing. Who knew it was so easy to make your own ice cream! Thanks again!
Hi Kendall,
Thank you!
It is great to have the very kind reviews of recipes here. Better to hear this from the Bold Bakers, than from me!
Lots more recipes on the way, stay with us,
Gemma 🙂
Hi Gemma
I think that the ingredients for 2 ingredients homemade ice cream will make so much ice cream base.
For red velvet ice cream – 2 cups ice cream base is required.
So how much whipping cream and condensed milk, should I use for obtaining 2 cups ice cream base?
Sorry I commented it again.
I didn’t saw that you replied.
By the way thanks gemma
Hi there,
Really about 1/2 will do it, if I am understanding you. You will know from the ingredient count in the recipe,
Gemma 🙂
Hi can you make rich chocolate ice cream. Chocolate and more chocolate.
Burfee ice-cream
Liquorice ice-cream
Hi,
I have lots of recipes for chocolate ice cream. check out this post https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-ben-jerrys-ice-cream/
best,
Gemma.
Hi, Love these recipes!! Can you use light thickened cream and light condensed milk instead of full fat?
Hi there, sure you can, this is not so dependent on the fat, milk will not condense without the sugars, and this is about removing water from the milk, more than fats.
I do not know what light thickened cream is! the cream for my ice cream recipe needs to be full fat cream, which can be whipped up. this will work from about 35% fat content to 49.4%. You can try this with alternatives, but if there is a high water content it will not be great,
Gemma 🙂
Hi, I love watch ur videos but could u do strawberry n oreo cheesecake frozen yogurt? Could u help me do strawberry cheesecake ice cream from scratch please!!
This recipe is already here on the website (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-ben-jerrys-ice-cream/) you need to open this link and scroll down, Gemma 🙂
I love your ice cream recipe,but if i useream or whipped cream , it will cost too expensive if we want to sell it,is it possible to to change it with heavy cream or whipped cream with another item ?
This is a problem for you as you are buying at a high price. This recipe is designed for home consumption 🙂
Hi Gemma i will love to sell ice cream and im thinking of taking your craftsy course on ice creams and other frozen desserts. can those be sold? since you said above these recipes are for home consumption. thanks
Hi there,
Craftsy class link: https://www.craftsy.com/cooking/classes/bigger-bolder-frozen-desserts-ice-cream-gelato-more/61001
Here in the US and in other countries there are rules around food produced for sale, and this is what really matters. As I do not know where you live, or the health and safety rules around food, then I really cannot advise you. Food needs to be handles really carefully, and stored according to safety guidelines, to be safe for consumers. You would be unwise to proceed without local advice.
Other than that yes! you could sell the produce, it is designed for home production, but having regard to the above advice, you could proceed with these recipes.
I wish you well in your endevours,
Gemma 🙂
Can you use vanilla ice cream? And do you mean like using another ingredient for ice cream base?
Hi,
So what you can do is just half the 2 ingredient ice cream recipe and that will leave you will a little over 2 cups of ice cream base.
I hope this answers your question 🙂
Gemma.
so happy i stumbled on your page, just 3 days and i have made the condensed milk and the no machine ice-cream, really lovely.
Hi Jennifer,
That is great, well done you. I am really happy to have you with us,
Gemma 🙂
i love cheesecake and ice cream now a cheesecake ice cream yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy im so happy right now thanks Gemma you”re a genus(and i mean my favorite flavor cheese cake i know you have other recipes)
Hi Rachael,
Thank you for that! I am happy to hear it.
The salted caramel recipe is here on my website (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/salted-caramel-sauce/).
The smore jars recipe will make about 8 servings.
Thank you for being in touch,
Gemma 🙂
Hi, Gemma,
I do have an ice cream maker, so how would I adapt this recipe? I am thinking I would combine the base and the Red Velvet ingredients at the outset, and freeze them in my machine. When set up, I would stir in the cream cheese frosting, and then harden in my freezer?
Thanks for your help,
Elaine
Hi Elaine,
You really can just make it without the machine, this will be best, as it will be more difficult to incorporate the cream in to the frozen ingredients,
Gemma 🙂
Hi Gemma. How do I make the ice cream a little bit harder? I notice that it melts quickly. P.S. I love UR videos!!
Ah Jenna, for most people soft ice cream is ideal. I know if you live in a warm place it may melt quickly. I sometimes place the ice cream bowls in the fridge to help to keep the ice cream cold, particularly if we are eating outside on a hot day. Try this, it may help you,
Gemma 🙂
Thank you so much. I made your no machine ice cream for my mom and she fell in love with it! I hope I meet you someday!
Hi Jenna,
I am happy that you made this for your Mum, and glad to have you with us too. Maybe one day our paths will cross!
Gemma 🙂
Hey I tried many of ur recipes and desperately want to try this one. But unfortunately in our area there’s no whiiping cream. Can I use normal tetra-pack cream? Or like u teach us the condense milk can u kindly demonstrate a way to make whipping cream out of normal one?
Thanks so much for your comment, Sara. Where do you live? For this recipe and my other ice cream recipes, you can use heavy, whipping or all-purpose cream. Hope this helps 🙂
m from Pakistan. thanks you for the help
summer started here there are many of your summer recipes can u add more summer drinks recipes? like slushes and all plz
I will see what I can do. Stay tuned 🙂
Thx so much Gemma I luv to eat red velvet! This is so awesome
you are so welcome. Delighted you like it 🙂
3-4 tsp of red food dye? Is that correct, because it sounds like a lot? On a side note, absolutely love your recipes. So simple and easy to follow.
yeah thats the correct amount. It does need a good bit. If you like you can use less. I’m really delighted you like my recipes Sarah 🙂
Love your site. Where is the link that you mentioned for the ice cream containers? Thank you.
Thanks so much Roxie, I’m glad you like my recipes. Here is the link for the containers http://bit.ly/IceCreamContainers 🙂

How do you make cream cheese
I was wondering the same thing. Is it just cream cheese or do you buy a cream cheese frosting?
Hi Dee,
In the US and Europe we buy cream cheese, either at the cheese counter in-store, or in packs. I buy a foil pack here in the US of Philadelphia cream cheese, in Ireland I get a tub, which is a softer product, designed for spreading. (http://www.culturesforhealth.com/how-to-make-cream-cheese) here you will find out how to make this at home, I never did though,
Gemma 🙂
gemma,
thanq for your lovely recipes. i love them. but i have a small problem. i am from india and i have a problem finding the ingredients. can i substitute heavy whipping cream for non diary whipped cream? and the condensed milk available here is very sweet so should i alter the recipe in any way? thanks in advance.
Thanks for your comment, Ruth. Check out my dairy-free ice cream recipe. I think you’ll love that 🙂
hi there, i went to india for 1 week i bought POLAC CONDENSED MILK and used it for gemma icecream recipes n it turned out amazinh
YEA! I am really happy to hear this. How lucky you are to be able to go to India for one week, I am guessing you have family there, thank you for being in touch,
Gemma 🙂
Lovely easy to follow recipies. Can’t wait to try them
Thank you so much for visiting my website, really glad you enjoy my recipes 🙂
What about mixing fresh fruit into the ice cream? – Do I first cook the fruit before mixing with the ice cream base? Can I mix the fresh fruit directly to the ice cream base?
Either way will work. 🙂
Hi. I like your videos so much and I want to make this recipe but I don’t get what does “1 tbsp Cocoa powder 3 tsp” and “1 tsp ground Cinnamon ½ tsp” mean. Does it mean 1 Tbsp + 3 tsp cocoa powder? Also, can I just use a whisk or a blender instead of a hand mixer because I don’t have one? Thank you. 🙂
Hi Nikki, so sorry for my late reply. There was a mistake in the recipe. Thanks for letting me know. I just fixed it and you are good to go. you can use a hand whisk to make your ice cream 🙂
On this recipe red velvet ice cream …I’m confused bout the ingredients it says 1 tbsp cocoa powder 3 tsp
1tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp
so which measurement do u use
Hi Ashley, sorry that was my bad. I jut fixed the recipe now. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Can we use cream instead of cream cheese??
sure, just even leave out the cream cheese part 🙂
hi gemma, i want to ask about your recipe caise i don’t really understand ߘŊ”1 tbsp cocoa powder 3 tsp”,
what do you mean about 1 tbsp and 3 tsp?
and
“1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp’,
what do you mean about 1 tsp and 1/2 tsp?
thanks before gemma 😀
Hi, sorry for my late reply. So I didn’t realize the post was like this. I just edited it and took away the 3 tsp/1/2 tsp.
It is all fixed now. Thanks for letting me know 🙂

Hi Gemma! I really, really liked your website. It is easy to navigate and lovely and fun design! I really liked it. In June we are going to my country for vacation! So when we are there I want to make your plain no machine ice cream and add my twist on it! I am really exited and happy for that and I am pretty sure that my niece and nephew both will love this treat. You are truly a Bold Baker! Congratulations again! I really like your personality and teaching techniques. Thank you for your efforts. 🙂 ~Shocy
Hi Shocy! So great to see you on the new website. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. It’s your community so make it a great one. That’s wonderful that you’re planning to share the No Machine Ice Cream recipe with your niece and nephew. I’m sure they will love your twist. Thank you, as always, for watching! 🙂
So when do you add cream cheese frosting?
It’s the last step so you can maintain the cream cheese frosting ripples among the ice cream base. I hope you enjoy!
