Gerhild's Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

➤ by Oma Gerhild Fulson

This homemade ice cream recipe is so-o-o good. Using this recipe, you can also create a traditional German 3-Layer Ice Cream Torte.

Below the basic chocolate ice cream recipe, you'll find the recipe for a 3-Layer Ice Cream Torte.

It'll take a bit longer -- it uses three times the basic recipe -- so you'll have a good sized torte for yourself and company. Leftovers are  easily stored in the freezer.

For the full list of ingredients & detailed instructions, see the recipe card at the end of this post. But before you scroll, there’s important & interesting stuff to know right below.
