The Joy of No-Churn Ice Cream
Much as I love my ice cream makers (yes, I have a few!), sometimes, I just want to make ice cream from scratch. There’s something that I find so satisfying about whipping up a batch by hand – it gives me a real sense of accomplishment… and often a good upper arm workout too – bonus!
Plus, when the whole family gets involved, there’s plenty to do for everyone. Whether it’s whisking, folding, or smashing up chocolate eggs (always a favourite!), making no-churn ice cream is a hands-on, fun experience. The best part? No fancy equipment required – just a few simple ingredients, a freezer, and a bit of elbow grease and patience.
In this article, we’re sharing Easter-themed no-churn ice creams – a mix of classic seasonal flavours, fun twists, and creative ways to turn your favourite Easter treats into frozen deliciousness.
Expect hands-on fun, a little mess (in the best way possible), and some seriously tasty homemade Easter ice cream.

Easter and Its Sweet Traditions
Easter is upon us, and it’s a time for celebration, family gatherings, and of course, food! From hot cross buns to chocolate eggs, sweet treats are at the heart of the festivities.
While the origins of Easter are deeply rooted in religious traditions, it has also evolved into a season of indulgence, especially when it comes to chocolate, spiced baked goods, and fruity desserts.
Supermarkets are filled with:
- Easter eggs – classic hollow chocolate shells, often beautifully wrapped
- Crème-filled chocolates – think Cadbury Creme Eggs, caramel centres, and more
- Seasonal flavours – limited-edition treats like spiced buns, white chocolate raspberry, or lemony spring bakes
Classic Easter Flavours and Treats
Easter wouldn’t be the same without its signature flavours. Whether you’re drawn to spiced, warming notes or rich, chocolatey indulgence, there’s something for every taste.
- Chocolate Eggs & Mini Eggs – No Easter is complete without them! Crunchy shells, creamy centres, and endless possibilities for mix-ins.
- Hot Cross Buns – A spiced, fruity favourite, packed with cinnamon, nutmeg, and currants. Perfect for toasting… or transforming into ice cream
- Carrot Cake – A seasonal classic, filled with warming spices, sweet carrots, and a rich cream cheese topping.
- White Chocolate & Raspberry – A lighter, fruitier flavour combination that screams springtime freshness.
- Marshmallow & Creme-Filled Chocolates – Think Crème Eggs, Fluff, or soft, gooey marshmallow-filled treats—perfect for melting into ice cream bases.
