Praise Be: no-churn ice cream

Plus, all you need to know to invent your own delicious flavours this summer (no ice cream machine needed). And a recipe for divine no-effort coffee, choc and nut soft scoop I'll be making on repeat.

It’s the time of year when no-churn ice cream recipes start popping up everywhere, often (especially on TikTok) presented as a new invention or culinary discovery, like the Rosetta Stone of desserts. Just two ingredients! No ice-cream maker! But this beautful ice cream isn’t sorcery (or original to influencers); it’s a simple bit of kitchen science that’s been around for decades, embraced by everyone from Nigella to Jamie Oliver. But it is fun, flexible and absurdly easy to create your own flavours if you follow a few guidelines.
