3-Ingredient No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
Description
The recipe starts by blending sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sea salt lightly to combine without over-whipping, which could cause ice crystals. The ice cream base is then poured into a freezer-safe container and frozen for about five hours until firm but scoopable. Optionally, the ice cream maker method involves chilling the ice cream maker bowl, blending the ingredients gently, and churning for a smoother texture, though this is not necessary.
This vanilla ice cream delivers a rich and creamy dessert using pantry staples and minimal equipment. The use of sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess while heavy cream provides the necessary fat content to achieve a smooth mouthfeel. The no-churn method makes this a convenient homemade ice cream that can be ready in under a day.
Ingredients
- 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream (1 pint)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
Instructions
No-Churn Instructions:
- Add all of the ingredients for the ice cream to a blender. Blend on low speed until the ingredients are well-combined but avoid over blending. Note: If you don't own a blender, you can mix the ingredients in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer.
- Pour the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for 5 hours, or until frozen solid.
- When ready to serve, allow ice cream to thaw for a few minutes on the counter. Scoop ice cream into bowls and serve.
Instructions for Using an Ice Cream Maker:
- Place the bowl of your ice cream maker in the freezer overnight (or follow the instructions for your specific ice cream maker ahead of time).
- Add all of the ingredients for the ice cream to a blender. Blend on a lower speed until well-combined but avoid blending the mixture too much or it will produce an icy texture.
- Set up your ice cream maker and pour the vanilla ice cream base into the frozen bowl of the ice cream machine. Turn the ice cream maker on and allow it to churn until very thick and machine begins to slow down.
- Either serve immediately for soft serve consistency, or transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container, and freeze for 2 hours. When ready to serve, allow ice cream to thaw 2 to 5 minutes before scooping and serving.
