How long do you churn ice cream in an ice cream maker?
Ice cream takes a while to churn, about 15 minutes in most ice cream machines that we use at home. If you find that after 15 to 20 minutes, your ice cream still isn’t a soft serve consistency, you might not be able to get it to “thicken” further in the ice cream machine.
How do I know when my ice cream maker is done?
Run your finger across the custard, and if the line is thick enough that it stays put without dripping or running, it’s done—remove it from the heat. A little ice cream is good, so a lot of ice cream is great.

Can you make ice cream with half and half instead of heavy cream?
Don’t worry too much if you don’t have whole milk or heavy cream. Nearly any milk will work, and you can substitute half-and-half for the cream. Ideally you want ingredients with a high fat content because these will create a creamy texture when cooled.
What’s the difference between heavy cream and half and half?
The Real Difference Between Half-and-Half and Heavy Cream Like its name suggests, half-and-half is simply equal parts milk and cream. The real difference lies in the fat content: Half-and-half is 10 to 18 percent fat, and heavy cream falls between 30 and 36 percent.
Can I use sour cream instead of heavy cream?
You can also try it heated in a mug of rich hot chocolate. Sour cream (cream that’s been treated with lactic acid to thicken it and create a sour flavor) has a fat content of around 20%. This makes it a good substitute as long as the sourness doesn’t offset the flavors of the dish.
