How can I make a simple vanilla ice cream without an ice cream machine?
ByI want to make some nice creamy vanilla ice cream without an ice cream machine. I have a blender and a food processor. How can I make ice cream with these machines?
P.S:
I also have ice.
I don’t have thick whipping cream or any cream: I only have milk and whipped cream. :/

Making Ice Cream Without A Machine
1. Prepare your ice cream mixture, then chill it over an ice bath.
2. Put a deep baking dish, or bowl made of plastic, stainless steel or something durable in the freezer, and pour your custard mixture into it.

3. After forty-five minutes, open the door and check it.
As it starts to freeze near the edges, remove it from the freezer and stir it vigorously with a spatula or whisk. Really beat it up and break up any frozen sections. Return to freezer.
4. Continue to check the mixture every 30 minutes, stirring vigorously as it’s freezing. If you have one, you can use a hand-held mixer for best results, or use a stick-blender or hand-held mixer.
But since we’re going low-tech here, you can also use just a spatula or a sturdy whisk along with some modest physical effort.
5. Keep checking periodically and stirring while it freezes (by hand or with the electric mixer) until the ice cream is frozen. It will likely take 2-3 hours to be ready.

What you’ve asked is something akin to:
I want to make good Chocolate Frosting, but I have no chocolate, no butter, no sugar, and don’t have a kitchen to work in.
Why do that to yourself? Go to Wal-Mart, get an icecream freezer, some cream, sugar, vanilla and make some icecream.
Anything you make without a machine is going to have big ice crystals in it and will not be creamy
