Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 16 ounces heavy cream (2 cups, chilled)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Pour the chilled heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Using a mixer on high to medium-high speed, beat the cream until stiff peaks form. This process should take about 5 minutes and results in a fluffy, airy texture essential for the ice cream’s creaminess.
- Fold in Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream with a spatula. Be careful to combine them thoroughly without deflating the whipped cream to maintain the airy texture.
- Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer and let it set until fully frozen, approximately 8 hours or overnight, to achieve the perfect ice cream consistency.
Notes
- Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled before whipping for best results.
- Folding the condensed milk gently helps maintain the whipped cream’s volume, resulting in fluffy ice cream.
- Use a freezer-safe container with a tight seal to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- You can add vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or fruit before freezing for customized flavors.
- This recipe serves 8 and is a quick alternative to traditional ice cream recipes requiring churning or machines.
