Sprinkles Ice Cream

Most sprinkles ice creams just add colored sprinkles to a plain, unflavored sweet cream base. That's pretty boring. This recipe uses candy-colored, delightfully artificially flavored cereal (Fruity Pebbles, specifically, but Trix and Froot Loops would work well) to make something that's far more fun and deserving of the sprinkles that go into it.

DIY Grape-Nuts Cereal

We recreated classic Grape-Nuts crunch and nutty flavor at home.

Eggnog Ice Cream

A direct frozen version of our favorite holiday drink, spiked with just enough bourbon to keep it interesting.

Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream

This brown sugar ice cream is infused with a cinnamon stick, toasted oats, and a vanilla bean, then studded with crispy oat clusters, crunchy pecans, and chewy dried fruit. Tart cherries work especially well, but dried fruits such as cranberries and black mission figs work well too, so feel free to use whatever you like best. It's everything you love about oatmeal cookies in a scoop of homemade ice cream.

Classic Vanilla Ice Milk

Like sorbet, ice milk is light and refreshing on a hot summer's day, but with the creamy, soft consistency you'll find in the best ice cream.

Cookies 'n Cream Ice Cream

Don't hesitate to use real Oreos in this recipe, but if you'd like to go all the way, follow my Fauxreo recipe for a 100% homemade version. There is a gluten free variation with the Fauxreo recipe, so it may be used to make this ice cream gluten free as well.

Malted Milk Chocolate Ice Cream

Seek out high quality milk chocolate for this recipe; Valrhona and Callebaut have very good versions. Freezing the malted milk balls before adding them to the ice cream will keep the temperature down and prevent melting during the final minute of churning.

No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

With just five ingredients, including vanilla and salt, this no-churn ice cream tastes pure and simple, with a fresh dairy flavor. Just like the ice cream you might pick up at the supermarket, this ice cream is ready to scoop straight from the freezer, with a classic vanilla profile everyone will love.

Maple Walnut Ice Cream

The scoop shop classic gets an upgrade with rich, dark maple syrup and an ice cream that actually tastes like walnuts.

New England-Style Ice Cream

New England scoop shops are some of the country's best, in part because they specialize in dense, rich ice creams with a distinct, pleasant chewiness.
