For most of the summer, the local dairy where we get our raw, grass-fed milk has not had cream. However, the other day when we went to pick up our milk share, there were a couple of jars of cream sitting in the refrigerator. To say we were delighted at the prospect of making ice cream with real cream is a bit of an understatement. My 6-year-old literally cheered aloud when I told him what I picked up.
Real raw cream has a wonderful taste and richness all of its own, so I decided to whip up a very simple batch of ice cream that would let each of the flavors shine. Perhaps because the weather took a dip toward fall this week (we woke up one morning and it was 46-degrees outside, though the day ended up warming to the upper 80s), chai flavors sounded perfect. So I mixed together this very simple 3-ingredient ice cream, and it was fabulous.
Here’s how I made it:
Ingredients
- 4 cups cream (we used raw cream, full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream would also work)
- 2 tablespoons Chai Spice Mix
- 5 tablespoons Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Mix all three ingredients until thoroughly combined. Do not over mix, or your cream may start to whip.
- Place cream mixture in an ice cream maker and process until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve and enjoy.

Thank you definitely giving this one a try – maple syrup and ice cream is enough to win me over. Will be trying the coconut version
I’d love to hear what you think after you make it. Our batch was quickly devoured. Yum!
