Red white and blue ice cream
4th of July Ice Cream

This red white and blue ice cream dessert is so simple to make and perfect for summer, especially if you are looking for a fun 4th of July dessert. This 4th of July ice cream recipe is a "no churn" ice cream.

Back in the day when I was a kid, making homemade ice cream meant we had to buy rock salt, use an ice cream maker, and go through a long manual churning process just to make the mixture. It was good but it was real work! Somewhere along the way, some genius figured out how to streamline the process.
