Here’s a super easy 4-ingredient ice cream recipe that’s creamy and doesn’t require an ice cream maker:
🍨 Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream (or whipping cream)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, fruit, cookie crumbs, or nuts
👩🍳 Instructions
- Whip the cream
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in condensed milk and vanilla
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, keeping the mixture airy.
- Add mix-ins (optional)
- Fold in chocolate chips, berries, or other add-ins gently.
- Freeze
- Pour into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Serve
- Scoop with a warm spoon for creamy, soft ice cream.
💡 Tips for extra creaminess
- Don’t overmix after folding; air in the whipped cream keeps it light.
- For flavor variations: swirl in fruit puree, Nutella, or caramel before freezing.
If you want, I can give a no-sugar-added version that’s still creamy and perfect for a low-calorie dessert.
