How to Make No Churn Ice Cream
Description
How to Make No Churn Ice Cream is a straightforward recipe combining sweetened condensed milk with vanilla and salt, whipped together with heavy cream beaten to stiff peaks. Folding the mixtures gently preserves the airy texture, producing a creamy ice cream base. This method avoids churning by relying on the whipped cream’s incorporated air to maintain softness despite freezing.
The ice cream base can be customized by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, caramel, peanut butter, or freeze-dried fruit folded in before freezing. The mixture is poured into a prepared loaf pan lined with parchment or wax paper to facilitate removal.
Freezing for at least 4 hours allows the ice cream to fully set. This method is convenient because it requires minimal equipment and effort, producing homemade ice cream with a smooth and creamy texture.
Storage instructions note that the ice cream should be tightly wrapped in plastic or foil to prevent freezer burn and may be stored for up to 6 months. Proper wrapping maintains freshness and texture during long-term storage.
