Here's a simple and delicious homemade ice cream recipe that doesn't require an ice cream
maker. It's creamy, easy to make, and you can customize the flavors!
No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional Add-ins:
Chocolate chips, nuts, fruit, cookie crumbles, or any toppings you like!
Instructions:
1. Whip the Cream:
o In a large mixing bowl, add the chilled heavy whipping cream.
o Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high
speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Be careful
not to over-whip, as the cream can turn into butter.
2. Mix the Condensed Milk and Vanilla:
o In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract,
and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
3. Fold Everything Together:
o Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a
spatula. Do this slowly to preserve the airiness of the whipped cream. The goal
is to combine everything without deflating the cream too much.
4. Add Optional Mix-ins:
o If you want to add any extra flavor (like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or
fruit), gently fold them in at this point.
5. Freeze:
o Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container.
o Smooth the top with a spatula and cover the container with plastic wrap or a
lid.
o Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results. The ice cream will be
soft and creamy once frozen.
6. Serve:
o Scoop the homemade ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!
o If it's too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes
before scooping.
Flavor Variations:
Chocolate Ice Cream: Add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder or melted chocolate to the
condensed milk mixture for a chocolatey base.
Strawberry Ice Cream: Blend 1 cup of fresh strawberries (or any berry) into a puree
and fold it into the cream mixture.
Coffee Ice Cream: Dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of instant coffee granules in a little hot
water, then fold it into the cream mixture for a coffee-flavored ice cream.
Mint Chocolate Chip: Add a few drops of peppermint extract and chocolate chips.
This no-churn ice cream is super simple and creamy. Let me know if you try it out!
