20 homemade ice cream recipes you'll want to make again and again

Homemade ice cream has a few advantages over the store bought stuff. First off, there are no preservatives or weird chemicals you can't pronounce, because you control exactly what goes into it. Second, you can make as much or as little as you want. And lastly, you can make any flavor that you're craving—nothing is off limits!

Some of our favorite homemade ice cream recipes take after the classics like strawberry and buttermilk, salted caramel and vanilla. Other recipes incorporate some of our favorite treats like blueberry cheesecake, Thin Mints and peanut butter. And some homemade ice creams like chocolate Cheez-It and sweet corn and blueberry are truly innovative.
