Homemade Ice Cream with only 2 Ingredients (No Machine)

This Homemade Ice Cream recipe uses just heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk whipped together to create a smooth, creamy texture without the need for an ice cream machine. The process forms stiff peaks in the cream before folding in the condensed milk. Vanilla extract is added optionally for flavor. The base can be customized with various mix-ins before freezing.

Description

The recipe for Homemade Ice Cream with only 2 Ingredients (No Machine) combines cold heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk to produce creamy ice cream through whipping. The cold cream is whipped until soft peaks form, then the condensed milk is added and whisked until stiff peaks develop, resulting in a thick mixture that simulates churned ice cream.

Vanilla extract is optionally stirred in to impart classic flavor, but the simple base allows for a wide range of custom additions. Once mixed, the ice cream is transferred to an airtight container and frozen for at least 6 hours to set fully. This method skips the need for churning machinery.

The recipe encourages experimentation with flavors and mix-ins like nuts, fruits, or syrups by incorporating them into portions of the base before freezing. The homemade ice cream can be kept stored in the freezer once set.
