Instructions

Method #1: Condensed Milk Ice Cream

  1. Place the whipping cream into a large bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
  2. Add the condensed milk and salt to another large bowl and stir in 1 cup of the whipped cream.
  3. Add the remaining whipped cream to the bowl and gently fold it in.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-proof container or ice cream jar and freeze for at least 6 hours.

Method #2: Scrape and Stir

  1. Start by making one of your favorite ice cream recipes.
  2. Pour the ice cream base into a shallow dish and place it into your freezer.
  3. After 30 minutes, remove the dish and stir the ice cream, breaking up any frozen bits with a fork. Return it to the freezer then continue to stir it every 30 minutes until the ice cream forms.

Method #3: The Blender

  1. Start by making one of your favorite ice cream recipes.
  2. Line a large, shallow pan with parchment paper, making sure that the paper comes past the edges of the pan.
  3. Pour the ice cream base into pan and freeze until solid.
  4. Break up the frozen ice cream into smallish pieces and place them into your blender.
  5. Blend until smooth and creamy, using the plunger or stopping to scrape the sides of the blender as needed.

Notes

  • Note 1: The condensed milk ice cream method is by far the easiest, but can only be used with this recipe. If you try simply freezing traditional, custard-based ice cream, it will turn very hard and icy. 
  • Note 1:
  • The condensed milk ice cream method is by far the easiest, but can only be used with this recipe. If you try simply freezing traditional, custard-based ice cream, it will turn very hard and icy. 
  • Note 2: The blender method makes creamier ice cream than the scrape and stir method, but it does require a decent blender.
  • Note 3: For variety, try dividing the condensed milk version into 2 or 3 portions and flavoring each differently. You can let your imagination run wild and add anything you think would be tasty!
  • Note 4: To make strawberry puree, simmer chopped strawberries until they are soft and most of the liquid evaporates. Then, blend them until they are smooth, or leave them a bit chunky-your choice. Add food coloring if you would like a brighter color. 
  • Note 5: This recipe makes about 6 cups - a bit more depending on the add-ins.
