Description
Ice Cream Recipe made with whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk—no machine needed! Creamy, dreamy, and easy to customize with your favorite flavors or mix-ins. The perfect treat to keep on hand for summer days or sweet cravings.
Ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup whole milk (optional, for a softer texture)
Optional Add-ins:
Crushed Oreos
Chocolate chips
Fruit purée
Caramel or fudge swirls
Instructions
Whip the cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form (3–4 minutes).
Mix base: In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and whole milk (if using).
Fold together: Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix just until smooth—don’t deflate the cream.
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
Freeze for 6+ hours: Let it set completely (overnight is best).
Serve and enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes if it’s too firm.
Notes
Want soft-serve texture? Let it thaw slightly and pipe it into cones.
Add fruit purée (like strawberry or mango) for natural flavors.
Keep covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Great base recipe—customize it endlessly with your favorite mix-ins.
