<human>: Is there a way to make a homemade ice cream that doesn't require an ice cream maker?
<bot>: Yes, you can make a homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker. You will need the following ingredients: heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and optional toppings such as chocolate chips or nuts. Start by combining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. Beat together until soft peaks form. Add in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and mix again until combined. Place your mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4 hours or overnight. Once frozen, use a fork to break up the ice cream and add any desired toppings before serving.
