Description
Homemade no-churn ice cream delivers creamy perfection without complex machinery or churning. Whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk blend into a luxurious dessert you can customize with countless flavor combinations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces (397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (473 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whipping: Utilize an electric mixer to whip heavy cream into voluminous, sturdy peaks that hold their shape without becoming grainy or over-beaten.
- Base Preparation: Blend sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract in a separate bowl, creating a smooth, aromatic foundation for the frozen dessert.
- Fusion and Incorporation: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using careful, sweeping motions to maintain the mixture’s delicate airiness and prevent deflation.
- Flavor Enhancement: Introduce textural elements like crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, dark chocolate shards, or fresh seasonal berries, distributing them evenly throughout the creamy base with minimal mixing.
- Freezing Process: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container with an airtight lid, smoothing the surface to ensure uniform freezing and optimal texture development.
- Chilling and Setting: Seal the container completely and place in the freezer’s coldest section, allowing the ice cream to solidify and develop its rich, creamy consistency for 4-6 hours or until perfectly set.
Notes
- Whip with Precision: Achieve soft, billowy peaks in heavy cream by carefully controlling electric whisking to maintain a delicate texture without over-beating.
- Flavor Foundation Matters: Mix vanilla extract thoroughly into sweetened condensed milk for a rich, aromatic base that elevates the entire dessert’s taste profile.
- Fold Gently: Use gentle, sweeping motions when combining whipped cream and condensed milk to preserve airiness and prevent mixture deflation.
- Freeze Strategically: Store in the coldest freezer section, tightly sealed, allowing 4-6 hours of undisturbed freezing to develop a smooth, creamy consistency.
