Pure cream high in milk fat is best for ice cream. Read the label: it should say, contains cream (and give the percentage of fat) and might also list the small amount of water which naturally occurs in cream. The cream shouldn't contain any thickeners (gelatine and so on), colours, flavours, sugars or preservatives. Just cream.
Heavy cream (called double cream in the UK) and light cream (called single cream in the UK) are the two types of cream most people use when making homemade ice cream. Heavy cream is higher in butterfat content. See the 'Cream in ice cream' link below for more information.

∙ 12y agoUsually double cream, or half and half.
But from personal experience, the best way to make smooth, soft-serve style ice-cream is to put banana in it! You can freeze a banana and then pureeing them into ice cream taste best<3

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoI'm pretty sure that you use half-and-half cream, that's what i use any anyway.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoFull fat cream (35% - 40% fat) works best.
Really fresh cream (newly separated form newly milked cows) does not whip as easily as older cream.

∙ 7y agoI usually use heavy whipping cream. However some ice cream recipes ask for half and half instead of cream (half and half is half cream and half milk, so you could mix that yourself).

Learn How To Make Homemade Ice Cream?
Learning how to make delicious homemade ice cream in an electric freezer is easy to do. You can buy an electric ice cream maker at any retail store for around $20. Once you have tasted homemade ice cream, it is hard to find a commercial brand that taste as good. You only need the best ice cream maker, a box of rock salt and a bag of ice to get started.If you search online for a homemade ice cream recipe, you will find cooked and non-cooked versions. Many people prefer the cooked recipes because ice cream contains eggs. Uncooked eggs are a known source of salmonella. The secret to making good homemade ice cream is in the recipe and following some guidelines.Start by mixing up your chosen ice cream recipe. Pour the batter into the metal ice cream container. You will see a fill line inside the can. If the recipe doesn't reach the line, add milk. It is recommended that you use whole milk or canned evaporated milk. Place the metal can inside the electric freezer according to the manufacturer's directions.Plug the machine into an electrical out and it should start turning. Layer salt and ice until the ice cream maker is full. The ice will start to melt down and you should add ice and salt accordingly. Some people like to add a little bit of water to the ice pack. Most ice cream makers will stop turning when the ice cream has hardened.
Why is salt added to ice when you're making homemade ice cream in an ice cream freezer.?
Salt acts as an antifreeze, reducing the melting/freezing point of the ice. This makes the salt & ice freezing mixture much colder than that of ordinary ice, causing the ice cream to freeze faster and with smaller crystals. An ice cream with smaller crystals feels smoother and creamier in the mouth.I use a compressor ice cream maker, which requires no salt & ice mixture as it has a built in electric powered freezer.

Why do you need to use a saltwater solution as a part of a bath when making homemade ice cream?
Salt water does not freeze completely when the temperature drops below 0 degrees. However, it does reach that point, and since it is a liquid, it is a direct application of the cold to the ice cream. I you only apply cold air to the ice cream, it takes longer to freeze, which results in large ice chunks in your ice cream.
