Recipe for Homemade Low Sugar, Salt-Free Ice Cream – The Real Deal Like so many others in my generation, my mother made ice cream at home from her own recipes often employing my brothers and me to turn the crank on a hot summer day. When Baskin Robbins was founded in Burbank not far from our home, my mother was so impressed with their organic ice creams that she stopped making her own. Convenience and laziness led to increased sales of grocery store private label ice creams over the years.

Soon all of the organic ice creams – Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry’s and Baskin Robbins – all sold out to some of the world’s largest food manufacturers who changed the ingredients to high fructose corn syrup and many other chemicals. To illustrate the point, a 6-ounce serving of Baskin Robbins Pralines and Cream contains 44 ingredients containing 275 calories, 190 mg of salt, and 31 grams of sugar but does not include the sugar contained in corn syrup (mentioned 4 times on the label).

There are 10 other ingredients containing sugar on the ingredients label. The sugar may reach as much as 100 grams per 6-ounce serving based upon the calculations of experts on the use of corn syrup. The same chemical substitutes are ingredients in Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s. For a family of four we recommend simple ice creams that anyone can make. Our preference is for strawberry, chocolate, banana, vanilla, vanilla custard, French vanilla and peach.

They are simple recipes that can be combined to make such flavors as Chocolate, Chocolate Swirl, Double Dutch Chocolate Walnut Crunch, Banana Chocolate Chip, Vanilla Chocolate Chip, Banana Walnut, Neopolitan and others – all with the same basic ingredients. There are literally dozens of ice cream makers available on the Internet, in catalogues or in appliance stores. After studying the various machines and speaking to ice cream chefs, I chose the Lello Gellato which sells for about $160 online.

There are many others that are cheaper but I chose one that had a freezer container to avoid pre-freezing my ingredients, using rock salt and requiring a hand crank. Some may have the time to hand crank their ice cream machine, but I don’t. We also suggest going to a restaurant supply store and buying heavy duty quart containers capable of storing liquids in a commercial freezer. They don’t crack when you spoon out ice cream and the tops never fall off.

It takes only 15 to 20 minutes at the most to prepare your ice cream bases and about 25 to 35 minutes in an ice cream maker followed by time in the freezer to reach the desired level do solidity. It is simple, easy and can be done in between cooking other meals or watching TV.
