Easy Homemade Ice Cream (No Machine Needed)
The Basic 4‑Ingredient Recipe
Ingredients:
· 2 cups heavy cream (very cold)
· 1 can (14 oz / 400g) sweetened condensed milk (cold)
· 1 tsp vanilla extract
· Pinch of salt
Instructions (10 minutes active + freezing):
- Chill everything: Place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before starting.
- Whip the cream: Pour cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Whip on medium‑high speed until stiff peaks form (about 2–3 minutes). Don’t overbeat or it will turn to butter.
- Combine: In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt.
- Fold gently: Add about 1/3 of the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture and stir to lighten it. Then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Do not overmix — keep it light and airy.
- Freeze: Pour into a loaf pan or freezer‑safe container. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface (to prevent ice crystals). Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for best texture.
