Not too sure about homemade ice cream, but usually crystallization is the result of the freezer being too cold.

Not true. The slower you bring the ice cream to a freeze the more gritty it will be.  Also instead of sugar use glucose.  it reduces the chance of getting ice crystals.

Back in my day , guys like me and Vince Basille used the old hand crank to make our homemade ice cream .
It was hard work and the ice cream tasted like shit, but it was a good arm pump.
We lifted rocks at a real rock quary , ate real ice cream  and didn't need steroids.
Those were the days  8)

Considering I said I wasn't sure about homemade ice cream, and I've dealt with ice cream that's already been cured by Dreyer's, Haagan Das, Silhouette/Skinny Cow, Healthy Choice, Ben and Jerry's, Good Humor and Breyer's...I would say that my original answer still stands.

Our ice cream flavor took 3rd place at some International Ice Cream Competition in New York in 1993 or 94.  I had nothing to do with the process.  We licensed out my name to Dave's Ice Cream in Hawaii.  Jack Leong owned it at the time.  He has died since.  He owned the largest distribution company in Hawaii.  He came up with a flavor which was Macadamia based ice cream mixed with a little banana and bits of mac nuts and pineapple.  Very high butterfat which makes the ice cream taste really good.  Other than that I have no idea about anything except it tasted great and we never took it to market cause he ended up dying.  Niot even sure if there is Dave's Ice cream anymore
