Here’s a super easy homemade ice cream recipe—no fancy machine needed! 🍦
Ingredients (makes about 4 servings)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, crushed cookies, fruit, or caramel
Instructions
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the base: In another bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully combined.
- Add mix-ins: Stir in any extras like chocolate chips, berries, or nuts.
- Freeze: Pour into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight) until firm.
- Serve: Scoop and enjoy!
💡 Tip: This is a no-churn recipe, so it’s perfect for quick homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker. You can also divide it into small containers for individual servings.
If you want, I can give a fun 3-ingredient chocolate or strawberry version that’s even faster and kid-friendly. Do you want me to do that?
