Homemade Ice Cream with only 2 Ingredients (No Machine)
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.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream cold, 16 fl oz/450 ml
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk fat-free or regular, 1 can/400 ml, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Notes
- Keep sweetened condensed milk cold for at least 4 hours before mixing.
- Add mix-ins to portions of the base for homemade flavors before freezing.
- Store finished ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain texture.
