What’s in Grape Ice Cream?
DAIRY: The key to that rich and creamy ice cream goodness is sweetened condensed milk and heavy whipping cream. Once beaten to stiff peaks, the whipped cream is gently folded in.
FLAVOR: It’s very rare I’ll post a recipe that needs a seemingly unusual ingredient but this recipe needs grape flavoring. I use LorAnns Oil grape flavoring which adds both color and grape flavoring to this recipe. You can find it online on Amazon or at cake decorating stores or sometimes even at craft stores that carry baking supplies or Walmart online (I haven’t checked in stores).
FRESH GRAPES: Choose purple seedless grapes for this recipe.
JELLY: Grape jelly is added at the end to swirl into the ice cream and add a pretty jelly swirl. This is optional.
MIX IT UP: Use this basic recipe and swap out the fruit (and flavoring) if you’d like.

Avoiding Icy Ice Cream
Easy peasy! Before putting ice cream in the freezer, cover it securely with a piece of plastic wrap. Tuck it all around the ice cream to make a seal. If ice crystals do form, simply stir it thoroughly before serving to break up and incorporate any ice crystals.
How to Store and How Long Does it Last?
Keep homemade no-churn ice cream airtight in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. After that, ice crystals may form. Use the tip above to eliminate them.
