Homemade Ice Cream Without Cream or Eggs

I’m experimenting with a lactose-free ice cream recipe using lactose-free milk. To keep it budget-friendly, I’d like to avoid using eggs as well.

I’ve heard that gelatin can help achieve a creamy texture without cream or eggs—just milk—but I haven’t come across specific recipes for this approach. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or tips to kick off my recipe testing! Thanks in advance!

    Sure! Making homemade ice cream without cream or eggs using lactose-free milk is definitely possible, and gelatin can help stabilize the mixture for a smoother texture. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

    No-Cream, No-Egg Ice Cream with Gelatin

    Ingredients:

    • 2 cups lactose-free milk
    • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
    • 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or any flavoring of your choice)
    • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
    • 1/4 cup cold water
    • A pinch of salt

    Instructions:

    1. Dissolve the Gelatin:

    2. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to bloom.

    3. Heat the Milk:

    4. In a saucepan, combine the lactose-free milk, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved.

    5. Add Gelatin:

    6. Once the milk mixture is warm, remove it from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until it’s completely dissolved.

    7. Flavor It Up:

    8. Stir in the vanilla extract (or any other flavoring you prefer). You can also mix in any additional ingredients now, like crushed fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts if desired.

    9. Cool the Mixture:

    10. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until it is chilled (1-2 hours).

    11. Churn:

    12. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes until it’s firm, for about 2-3 hours.

    13. Freeze:

    14. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for a few hours to firm it up further.

    15. Enjoy:

    16. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.

    Tips:

    • For additional creaminess, you can incorporate a bit of coconut milk or a lactose-free cream alternative if desired.
    • You could also experiment with different flavors, such as chocolate or fruit purees, to customize it to your liking.

    Give it a try and tweak the recipe based on your preferences! Enjoy your homemade ice cream!
