Description

This No Churn Ice Cream recipe offers a quick and easy way to enjoy homemade creamy ice cream without the need for an ice cream maker. Using just a few simple ingredients like sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, this delightful dessert can be prepared in minutes and frozen to perfection. Customize it with your favorite add-ins such as chocolate chips, caramel, or freeze-dried fruit for a personal touch.


Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, caramel, peanut butter, freeze-dried fruit


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking, then chill the pan in the freezer to keep the ice cream cold during setting.
  2. Mix Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a large, chilled bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined, creating a sweet and flavorful base.
  3. Whip the Cream: In another large, chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture to lighten it; then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to maintain the airy consistency.
  5. Add Optional Ingredients: Incorporate any desired add-ins such as chocolate chips, caramel, peanut butter, or freeze-dried fruit by folding them gently into the mixture.
  6. Freeze the Ice Cream: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm and scoopable.

Notes

  • Ensure both bowls are well chilled for best whipping results with the heavy cream.
  • Do not overfold to retain the fluffy texture of the ice cream.
  • Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier scooping.
  • Use airtight covering or wrap the loaf pan with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
  • Optional add-ins can be customized to your taste preferences and dietary needs.
