It is HOT outside and I am so excited to make some homemade ice cream.
A few weeks ago, I decided to do my first Facebook Live video. I am still learning how to do this. I mean, live means you can't edit out the "bloopers"...like when the cream splashed all over me :-).
It was pretty nerve-wracking!! The good part about making an ice cream recipe video is that you can see how easy this Vitamix ice cream recipe is to make. It blended my ingredients in just 30 seconds!
Bloopers aside, I couldn't believe how many comments I got from readers who didn't know how easy it can be to make ice cream from scratch. (*Just see below, I included a video of my live experience for you.)
I dumped the caramel ice cream ingredients into my Vitamix and then froze everything. It was creamy and delicious; definitely as good as any store-bought ice cream :-). It is totally easy to make ice cream without an ice cream maker!!

This easy vegetarian gluten free ice cream recipe is perfect for a crowd, or an ice cream bar. I plan to make a few flavors for our next pool party. This easy ice cream recipe is SO much better than store-bought ice cream.
If you want, you can even add some flaked sea salt to make homemade salted caramel ice cream. Sometimes gluten free cones are hard to find so if you need a gluten free ice cream cone, those are also easy to make.
Check out how to make a gluten free waffle cone. You can also try this caramel ice cream in this yummy Ombre Milkshake recipe! Kids love it!
Once you watch the video, you will see how easy this ice cream is to make :-).
Instructions:

I also need to say, I am loving Rodelle's Vanilla Paste. I used it in this recipe and it really added a splash of sweet vanilla to this ice cream. It is different from vanilla because you get all of the taste from the vanilla beans, without any alcohol.

I used a bread loaf tin to freeze this ice cream in. You can also use plastic containers. (Don't use glass!!)

Scoop it out onto a cone or into a bowl...it tastes great both ways!

Tools:
- I love to make ice cream in a loaf pan. It stays cold for a long time so your ice cream doesn't melt as fast.
- Nestle La Lachera Dulce le Leche makes this ice cream burst with caramel flavor!
