No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
02 -
2 cups heavy cream (1 pint)
03 -
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
04 -
1/4 tsp sea salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on low speed until well-combined, being careful not to over-blend. Alternative method: If no blender is available, mix ingredients in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer.
02 -
Pour the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for 5 hours, or until frozen solid.
03 -
Allow ice cream to thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before scooping into bowls.
04 -
Place the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer overnight. Blend all ingredients as directed above. Pour the mixture into the frozen bowl of the ice cream machine and churn until very thick and the machine begins to slow down. Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 hours. Allow to thaw 2 to 5 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
This no-churn method requires minimal equipment and produces a creamy texture without an ice cream maker.
02 -
For best results, use very cold heavy cream straight from the refrigerator.
