Easy Ice Cream Recipe

This is a simple, no-churn ice cream recipe that requires minimal ingredients and no special equipment. Perfect for a quick and delicious treat!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk  
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
  • Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, fruit, cookies, nuts, etc.

Instructions:

  1. Whip the cream: In a large bowl, pour the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer) with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This usually takes 3-5 minutes.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a separate bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract (if using). Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped cream.
  3. Add your mix-ins (optional): If you’d like to add any mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, fruit, or crumbled cookies, gently fold them into the mixture now.
  4. Freeze: Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. A loaf pan or a plastic container with a lid works well.
  5. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight: Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  6. Scoop and serve: Once the ice cream is frozen solid, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy!
