Given a good recipe, can we just freeze the icecream mix in low temp without churning it?

Ice cream is basically whatever its ingredients are, just frozen. Churning does serve a purpose though. It breaks up the freezing crystals of ice cream, making the finished product smoother and creamier. If you just blended it and froze it though, it'd probably be fine.

Yes, churning helps in the consistency of your finished product. Try the two bowl method with a hand mixer. Fill larger bowl about 2/3 full with rock salt and crushed ice, and mix your icecream in a smaller bowl inside the bigger bowl. Same principle as the old churns, but mix with a hand mixer. The salt keeps the ice from melting into one big cube. ratio 1 C salt per gallon of ice

I'd think that if you just freeze it, it would turn into a hard block of ice cream that wont be fun to eat, more like ICE.

if you don't churn it, it'll turn into a block of ice with a layer of fat at the top.
