Mini Egg Ice Cream (No Churn)
Description
Mini Egg Ice Cream (No Churn) relies on lightly sweetened whipped heavy cream to create an airy base without the need for an ice cream maker. The condensed milk, flavored with vanilla and seasoned with sea salt, is lightened by folding in part of the whipped cream before combining fully to maintain volume and creaminess.
Gentle incorporation of crushed mini eggs and optional cacao nibs yields a creamy dessert with a crunchy surprise throughout. The ice cream is placed in a freezer-safe container and frozen for at least six hours to develop the proper texture. It can be eaten as a soft serve after about 5-6 hours for a softer consistency.
This recipe yields just over a pint of ice cream and does not require churning, making it convenient for home preparation. The candy inclusions bring festive colors and textures that contrast with the smooth base.
