Homemade No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe
Description
The No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe relies on heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks, combined with sweetened condensed milk flavored with vanilla extract. The folding technique preserves the whipped cream's light structure, which creates a creamy, airy frozen treat once set. The process eliminates the need for churning since the texture is developed through whipped cream.
The final ice cream has a rich mouthfeel from the dairy fat and sweetness balanced by the vanilla. Its softness and scoopability depend on freezing time, typically 4-6 hours. Additional mix-ins or flavorings can be gently incorporated before freezing for variety.
Because it contains no stabilizers or air injectors common in commercial ice cream, it may be slightly softer and melts faster. It’s best served directly from the freezer. This recipe provides a straightforward base for homemade ice cream with minimal equipment and ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks occur, be careful not to over whip. The cream will be done when you pull the beaters out and the cream stands at attention.
- In another large bowl, whisk the vanilla into the sweetened condensed milk. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a spatula, slowly incorporating the two mixtures together so it stays light and aerated.
- If making individual flavors, scoop the cream mixture into smaller bowls and gently fold in your desired mix-ins, or if making just one flavor, mix the ingredients directly into the cream mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to an insulated tub or paper containers and freeze for 4-6 hours.
