Generaly, you need an ice cream maker. Basicaly these are VERY cold pots (youu need to freeze the pot in freezer for 2-4 days) that spin around. You need these to stop ice from forming and the creme from seperating.
But you can make it but putting the mixture in a bowl and stirring it every 10-20 mins. This methods generaly works, unless you have watery ingredients i.e. strawberrys. But it also takes alot longer.
You can get ice creme makers from places like...

To make ice cream without an ice cream maker:
You'll need two containers, one that will fit inside the other with at least an inch to spare.
Two sizes of coffee cans work well for this, but any food safe containers will do. Metal is best, but glass will work, too. Plastic does NOT work, as it doesn't conduct the cold very well. Be sure to tape or tie the lid down firmly on the smaller container. Place it in the larger coffee can or other container and put in enough ice, alternating with layers of rock salt two or three times, to completely pack the cavity between the two cans.
Seal the larger can well, too, then go play 'kick the can' with it, or roll it back and forth between kids, or just hold and jiggle it like you would to hand churn butter for anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. You can also make drain holes in the bottom of the larger container, punching them with a nail, but it can be messy if the can will be passed back and forth.
To check for "doneness", it won't hurt to take off the lid and stir. If it's not frozen solid enough, drain the water caused by melting ice, repack and shake or roll again.
Recipes for homemade ice cream vary from the super smooth, egg-and-cream-rich ices of the old south to the plain milk and sugar kind, but all can be adapted to a coffee can ice cream maker - just use a half recipe or less.
However you do it, home made ice cream, while usually more expensive than store bought ice cream, is frugal entertainment as well as a special treat to eat.

1 cup sugar
8 egg yolk
3 cups milk
1 vanilla -- extract or bean
After freezing the basic ice cream you may add any dried fruit that has been
soaked for 12 hours in cognac. Prunes & Cognoc. I have tried peppermint
candies with a little peppermint extract. Macadamia nuts are also a
possibility.
1. Heat the milk to a boil with the vanilla bean.
2. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar in a heavy bottomed pot, until well mixed.
3. Remove the vanilla bean from the milk. Add the milk to the egg yolk mixture
and stir constantly over low heat, until the liquid thickens enough to coat
the back of a metal spoon. DO NOT BOIL.
4. Transfer immediately to another bowl. Cover with waxed paper and cool in
the refrigerator, mixing occasionally to prevent a crust from forming.
5. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream freezer, according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

You need two buckets a smaller one for the incredients like cream and sugar and a bigger one for the ice. You put the smaller bucket into the bigger ice bucket and you keep mixing the mixture until it turns to icecream.
