White Chocolate Ice Cream. How to make white chocolate ice cream using an ice cream maker. One of those simple, yet delicious, must make ice cream maker recipes and a much cheaper alternative to buying white chocolate ice cream.
White Chocolate Ice Cream
Welcome to my white chocolate ice cream recipe for the ice cream maker. Updated for the summer of 2020 after originally sharing it with you back in the June of 2016 and a favourite in the Milner house.
I hear the words “white chocolate” and I am there with bells on. Why does white chocolate taste so much better than regular chocolate is what I always say whenever me and Dominic are bingeing on the white stuff.
My cheap favourite is the good old Milky Bars. Only available in the big bars here in Portugal in the spring and the rest of the year I must make do with the tiny version.
My expensive favourite is Lindt. Awfully expensive but OMG I could give up all chocolate forever just for Lindt.
I love the mixed Lindt balls pack you get at Christmas that includes white chocolate truffles, dark chocolate truffles and milk chocolate truffles.
But in the ice cream department I love Magnums. Magnum white chocolate is the BEST and is my refreshing snack when I am on the beach in Portugal in the summer.
But what if you grabbed any brand of white chocolate and loaded it into the ice cream maker?
Would it be as good as Magnum, Ben & Jerry’s or other brands of white chocolate ice cream that we know and love?
Time for a taste test me thinks!

You can also mix and match between chunks of white chocolate and grated white chocolate.

There are many different white chocolate ice cream brands that you can convert to the ice cream maker.
My favourite white chocolate ice cream brands include:

You could also make a much better copycat white chocolate ice cream that is like your favourite from Marks & Spencers, Tescos, Lidl, Waitrose or even Walmart.
Or another idea is to convert your favourite Jamie Oliver white chocolate ice cream to the ice cream maker.

White Chocolate Ice Cream Bar
I am a big fan of the food bars and love to make a baked potato bar for quick evening meals with the family.
Though instead of savoury you could make a white chocolate ice cream bar instead.
Make a round of our white chocolate ice cream in the ice cream maker, then serve it in little ice cream pots.
Then on the table have lots of different sprinkles and sauces that you can serve with your ice cream.
My favourite is butterscotch sauce and 100’s and 1000’s but you can choose whatever you like.
White Chocolate Ice Cream Toppings
I am some what of a white chocolate ice cream toppings junkie and cannot resist loading my ice cream with sticky sauces.
When I go out for a McFlurry it is always loaded with caramel sauce. At home its either caramel sauce or this delicious butterscotch sauce as shown below:
Though you might prefer chocolate sauce, or have other plans.

As someone that grew up eating white chocolate and experienced her first white chocolate ice cream in the UK, this recipe is perfect for if you are looking for a white chocolate ice cream for the UK.
It was originally created by an Italian ice cream maker, so metric was how this recipe was originally produced.
Though it is also easy to adapt if you live in the US too. Simply swap single cream for the American half and half. You can also switch between metric and imperial for local measurements via our recipe card below.
