- Whisk sugar into milk until dissolved.
- Add cream, vanilla, and salt. Whisk well.
- Pour into a freezer‑safe container.
- Freeze for 45 minutes. Stir vigorously (or use a fork) to break up ice crystals.
- Repeat stirring every 30–45 minutes for 3–4 hours, until creamy and frozen.
This method takes more hands‑on time but works beautifully without sweetened condensed milk.
Serving & Storage
Serving ideas:
· In a cone or bowl
· Between two cookies for an ice cream sandwich
· Over warm apple pie or brownies
· With hot fudge or caramel sauce
Storage:
· Keeps in the freezer for up to 2 weeks (after that, ice crystals may form)
· Press plastic wrap directly on surface and cover container tightly
Why This Recipe Works
The sweetened condensed milk does two important jobs:
- Provides sweetness without needing to cook a custard base
- Prevents large ice crystals because of its high sugar and milk solids content
Whipping the cream separately incorporates air, which gives the ice cream its light, scoopable texture — no machine required!
Ready in about 10 minutes of active time, then just patience while it freezes. Rich, creamy, and dangerously easy to eat by the spoonful straight from the container!
