<human>: How do I make my own ice cream without an ice cream maker?
<bot>: To make your own homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker, you will need to start with a good base. Start by combining 1 cup of milk or cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the sugar dissolves and then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, stir in 3-4 cups of your favorite frozen fruit or other mix-ins. Place the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
