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.
Quick and easy: the stick
Children aren't the only ones who enjoy homemade ice cream sticks. Preparation is very quick and easy: choose a base - it could be a fruit juice or compote, a smoothie, a refreshing summer drink or even milk, yoghurt or coconut milk - fill your moulds and put everything in the freezer. Your dessert will be ready in just a few hours. Want to spice up your ice cream? Dip it quickly in cooled melted chocolate then sprinkle with crushed hazelnuts before putting your ice creams back in the freezer for a few minutes.

My tip: quickly run the moulds under cold water and the ice creams will come off like a charm.
Fruity & vegan: the nice cream
Nice cream, or nana ice cream, has already proved its worth in the circle of inveterate foodies. It's aptly named, a vegan variant of traditional ice cream, with no added sugar. Nice cream, a real vitamin bomb, deserves its name. The base of this dessert is frozen bananas, which is really handy when you don't have time to eat all your bananas. All you have to do is slice up any over-ripe bananas and put them in the freezer. You can then blend them to obtain a creamy purée and add your own flavour to the ice cream. You can add berries, mango or other ingredients such as cocoa or coconut milk. Your creativity is the only limit. You can also add toppings such as puffed quinoa, grated coconut, berries or even nuts. You can also alternate layers of nice cream and chia seed pudding in a glass, this recipe is not only pretty but delicious.
