Description

This Super Simple 3-Ingredient Ice Cream is an ultra-creamy, no-churn dessert made with sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Perfect for quick homemade ice cream with no machine needed—just whip, fold, freeze, and enjoy.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (or other extract of choice)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.

  2. Gently fold in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract using a spatula until well combined.

  3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or loaf pan.

  4. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.

  5. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

  6. Scoop and serve straight from the freezer.


Notes

  • For chocolate ice cream, add ¼ cup cocoa powder or ½ cup melted chocolate.
  • Swirl in caramel, fruit purée, or cookie crumbs before freezing.
  • Use almond, peppermint, or citrus extract to create unique flavors.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
  • Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
