Do you need a ice cream maker to make ice cream?

Answer:

No, you sure don't!

You can put the cream mixture from an ice cream recipe in a zip-lock bag and then but that in a much large bag of crushed ice, or a tupperware container of crushed ice and salt. Agitate until the recipe freezes!

There are a number of creative ways to do the agitation, the ice cream maker is just more effective and efficient
