Summer, sun, scorching heat - ice is your only recourse. Of course, you could also take a dip, but that's not quite as tempting, is it? But there's no need to run to the nearest Gelateria - you can make these (little) bombs of freshness easily at home.

The temperatures are soaring, the sun is shining, everyone's outside to enjoy it... All signs that the ice cream season has begun. Water ice, ice cream or nice cream: you can make them all at home and vary the pleasures by playing with shapes and flavours. Here I invite you into the wonderful world of ice cream: discover tips, preparation ideas and much more.

Classic & delicious: the ice cream

The internet is overflowing with ice cream recipes of all kinds. You won't necessarily need an ice cream maker, but I know from experience that mixing the mass for hours in the freezer isn't the best solution. The result won't be as creamy. If you ever want to treat yourself to an ice cream maker, here are a few models.

Ice-cream makers with compressor
Your ice cream will be ready in no time with these ice cream makers. They may be relatively expensive, but they produce cold, just like a fridge, and will allow you to satisfy all your sudden ice cream cravings. The ice cream you make is generally creamier too.

Sorbet makers with accumulators
Making ice cream with an ice cream maker with cold accumulator is not something you can improvise. The container must remain cold for at least 12 hours, sometimes even up to 24 hours.

Preparing ice cream with a food processor
Do you cook a lot and already have a food processor? Are you tempted by the idea of buying one? Don't hesitate any longer, you can also use your food processor to make ice cream thanks to a special cooling bowl.
