Good news – with the Thermomix, it really is easier! Making your own ice cream with the Thermomix is not only faster than you'd think, but also a lot of fun. No ice cream maker needed, no long waiting times, no compromises on flavor. We'll show you how it's done – and which accessories make your life even easier along the way. ---

Why the Thermomix is the perfect machine for making your own ice cream

Many people think of cooking first when they hear Thermomix. But this little all-rounder can do so much more – and it really shines when it comes to summer Thermomix dessert recipes. Chopping and puréeing frozen fruit works in seconds with the Thermomix. No warming up, no waiting. You pop the frozen ingredients in, press turbo a few times – and out comes a creamy ice cream mixture that is absolutely divine.

What makes it special: You have full control over the ingredients. No refined sugar, no preservatives, no fuss. Just real fruit, a little sweetness to taste, and your Thermomix frozen dessert recipe for the whole family is ready.

The 5 best Thermomix ice cream recipes for summer

Here come our favorite summer recipes – from simple to creative:

- Banana ice cream (3 ingredients): Frozen bananas, a splash of coconut milk, a pinch of vanilla – 30 seconds on speed 10, done. The absolute beginner recipe.

- Mango passion fruit sorbet: Blend frozen mango with freshly squeezed passion fruit or orange juice. More on that in a moment.

- Strawberry yogurt popsicles: Purée strawberries + Greek yogurt + honey and fill into popsicle molds.

- Lemon mint sorbet: Fresh and refreshing – perfect for hot days.

- Ice cream cake from the Thermomix: A sponge base topped with a creamy vanilla ice cream mixture – the ultimate summer cake.

For the popsicle molds, it's worth checking out our mixcover popsicle molds in colorful (6 pieces) – the silicone molds with lids are ideal for turning your Thermomix ice cream mixtures straight into bright, colorful popsicles. For €12.95, you get six molds that are easy to fill and even easier to pop the ice cream out of.

Fruit sorbet in the Thermomix: Quick, fresh & thermomix ice cream without an ice cream maker

Thermomix sorbet is the classic among ice-cream-without-an-ice-cream-maker Thermomix recipes – and for good reason. You really don't need much:

1. Freeze fruit (e.g., mango, strawberry, raspberry) – ideally overnight.

2. Squeeze fresh citrus juice. This is where our mixcover juicer for Thermomix TM6 and TM5 comes in – for €35.95, you can juice oranges, lemons, and limes directly with the Thermomix, no extra devices needed. It gives your sorbet that fresh, vibrant note that store-bought ice cream never quite gets right.

3. Add the frozen fruit + juice + sugar (or agave syrup) to the mixing bowl.

4. Press the turbo button 3 times, then purée for 30 seconds on speed 8.

5. Serve immediately or pour into a mold and freeze again.

If you're making smaller portions (e.g., for just one person or to test new flavors), the mixcover mixing bowl reducer for TM6 and TM5 at €12.95 is a real game changer. It ensures that even small amounts of fruit are puréed properly – without everything sticking to the walls.

Creamy ice cream without an ice cream maker – here's how to nail it

Ice cream without an ice cream maker sounds like a compromise at first – but it isn't. The trick lies in the right balance of fat, sugar, and air. Cream or coconut milk provide creaminess, sugar prevents ice crystals, and the Thermomix takes care of the whipping.

Basic recipe for creamy vanilla ice cream:

1. Add 200 ml cream with 100 ml milk, 3 egg yolks, 60 g sugar and 1 tsp vanilla paste to the mixing bowl.

2. Heat for 7 minutes / 80 °C / speed 4 (this yields a crème anglaise).

3. Let it cool, then pour into a shallow container and freeze.

4. After 2 hours, put it back into the Thermomix – quickly purée for extra creaminess.

5. Freeze again, and it's done.

For freezing and storing, the mixcover foldable silicone food storage container (350 ml, silicone) is perfect – for €11.95 you get a space-saving, leak-proof solution that also looks great in the freezer.

The right accessories for summer desserts and Thermomix baking summer cakes

Ice cream isn't everything – we know you also enjoy baking in summer. A moist lemon bundt cake, a fluffy summer dream with berries, or a creamy ice cream cake in a loaf pan – all of this works wonderfully with the Thermomix.

For the ice cream cake (or any other summery cake), we recommend our mixcover silicone loaf pan approx. 30.5 cm in blue for €18.95. The silicone non-stick coating makes removing the cake a breeze – no sticking, no tearing, no frustration. And because silicone is freezer-safe, you can use the pan directly for your ice cream cake.

If you work with the Monsieur Cuisine or simply want more variety when steaming, we also recommend the mixcover steaming dish half for Monsieur Cuisine Connect & Smart. For €5.95 you get a practical baking dish that is also great for steamed desserts and frozen dessert recipes.

Tips at a glance

> Quick tip: Always freeze fruit in portions – that way you always have a quick base for spontaneous ice cream in the evening. Buy strawberries in summer, freeze them right away, and enjoy them all winter long. That's the real meal prep hack!
