Traditional homemade ice cream was a custard-like mixture made with eggs, vanilla, milk and sugar. Original recipes were much like making homemade pudding before the instant brands came along, and might involve cranking an ice cream maker full of ice and rock salt until the mixture was frozen.
Now, there are variations on homemade ice cream that can involve an ice cream machine that makes it in quickly, or even just a plastic bowl in the freezer. Many creative frozen dessert lovers enjoy experimenting with a variety of flavors as well as low calorie, healthier options.
It's easy to make a dreamsicle treat using sugar free instant pudding mix in French vanilla flavor and substituting orange juice for half of the milk. Of course, you can use any flavor of pudding or juice for that matter. What about banana pudding with pineapple juice or tapioca with cranberry? There are several ways you can freeze and serve this frozen treat. Kids love it in Popsicle trays or you can make it in a bowl and stir every hour or so until it freezes.
Another great frozen treat can be made by using yogurt and a variety of flavors to make a creamy frozen dessert. You can use instant Jell-O in different flavors and add fruit like berries, banana slices, cherries, or peaches and make a creamy, low calorie and healthy treat.
Some people choose to indulge their frozen yogurt with chocolate pudding mix, peanut butter, and marshmallows. When it comes to homemade ice cream, you are only limited by your imagination and you don't need a special machine to make it. Simply freeze it in a plastic bowl with a lid until it gets to the desired consistency. Some parents will make smoothies in a blender and stick it in the freezer before dinner and then dessert is quick and easy.
Many of the new appliances make it pretty easy to make frozen treats at home, whether you are looking for healthy treats or rich and luxurious specialties that you and your family will love. Most people enjoy a little comfort food now and then and it seems to be more rewarding when you have made it yourself.
A great idea for adults is a chocolate dark forest cheesecake desert. It is very easy to make by mixing yogurt and cream cheese in the blender, add some chocolate pudding mix, a little bit of cream and turn out into a bowl.

Add a little chocolate or raspberry drizzle and some whipped cream to serve, and you have a homemade ice cream dessert you can't buy.
As you can see, you are only limited by your imagination when it comes to today's homemade ice cream. Of course, if you miss that homemade ice cream flavor of yesterday there are many ways to get it, but you can replicate it quite easily with some French vanilla pudding mix and milk in a plastic bowl, or better yet, one of the great ice cream machines that can make it quickly.
