5x ice cream without an ice cream maker

Craving ice cream but don’t have an ice cream maker at home? It can happen to the best of us. In fact, who actually has an ice cream maker at home…

With these recipes for five delicious frozen desserts, you can put something amazing on the table without having to buy an entire ice cream maker. You’re welcome.

Salted caramel ice cream with Bourbon

Two things. Salted caramel and bourbon. That can’t go wrong, right? Nigella is the queen of desserts, which is all the more confirmation that you need to make this recipe.

Cream and peach semifreddo

Peaches filled with cream, barbecued peaches—in fact, we love all desserts with peach. Besides, semifreddo is so wonderfully creamy. Oh my.

Cantaloupe and black pepper granita

Melon is wonderfully sweet, and the black pepper provides just the kick you can use during a heatwave. Thanks to the texture of a granita, it feels as though you’re eating a chic Slush Puppie. Maybe that’s kind of what it is.

Strawberry shortcake ice cream bars

Strawberry shortcake is one of those desserts that goes down incredibly easily. Dangerous, really. In the form of these ice cream bars, it’s even more dangerous, because it’s the ultimate summer recipe.

Cranberry semifreddo

The cranberries in this Jamie Oliver recipe are deliciously tart, but not too tart. By adding crunch in the form of an oatmeal crumble, Jamie gives this dessert a lovely bite. Bonus: the cream topping with Drambuie.
