tenjing Is it correct to say, "I myself made the ice-cream"?
Yes. I consider that a fairly formal way to say it. Less formally I might say

I made the ice-cream myself.

You'll almost always hear it in the less formal way in ordinary everyday conversations.

She made those curtains herself.
The kids built that dog

The first is more natural, in my opinion. The second is not incorrect
