Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

This Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream combines cold heavy whipping cream whipped to soft peaks with sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean seeds to create a thick, creamy mixture. Frozen for at least six hours, it produces a rich, smooth ice cream without the need for an ice cream maker.

Description

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream is made by whipping cold heavy cream until it holds soft peaks, then folding in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and scraped vanilla bean seeds. The mixture is whisked until stiff peaks form, ensuring a thick texture before freezing. Transferred to an airtight container, it's frozen for at least six hours or overnight to set properly.

The vanilla bean seeds contribute visible flecks and an authentic vanilla flavor alongside the extract. This no-churn method simplifies ice cream making without sacrificing creaminess or taste. Stored correctly, the ice cream stays good in the freezer for up to six weeks.
