Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 hrs

Pre-chill the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 1 hour, ensuring it's thoroughly frozen. For the final 30 minutes, place the half-and-half in the freezer, shaking it every 10 minutes to encourage even chilling. (Total Time: 1 hour)

02

Step
5 mins

In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled half-and-half and instant pudding mix. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Assemble the ice cream maker with the frozen bowl. Turn on the machine, initiating the bowl's rotation. Carefully pour the pudding mixture into the machine through the designated opening in the lid. (Setup Time: 2 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Allow the ice cream maker to process the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. This typically takes around 30 minutes, but may vary depending on your machine. The ice cream is ready when it's thick and creamy. (Churn Time: 30 minutes)

05

Step

Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture. For a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to individual containers and freeze for later enjoyment. Be aware that it may become quite firm after freezing, so smaller portions are recommended for easier serving. (Freeze Time: variable)

For best results, ensure both the ice cream maker bowl and half-and-half are thoroughly chilled before starting.
Experiment with different flavors of instant pudding mix to create a variety of ice cream flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and pistachio are all excellent choices.
If you prefer a richer ice cream, you can substitute heavy cream for half-and-half.
For a smoother texture, consider using a high-quality instant pudding mix.
This recipe also works well for making frozen pudding popsicles. Simply pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.

    Freezing in small portions is a great tip, it does get very hard to scoop!
