Forget expensive store-bought tubs and complicated ice cream machines – you’re just five minutes and three ingredients away from creamy, delicious ice cream! This recipe is so easy, you’ll be wondering why you ever settled for anything less.
Ingredients:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (at least 35% fat content)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or ½ teaspoon almond extract for a twist!)
- Optional: Mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fruit!
Method:
-
Whip It Up!: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Don’t overwhip, or you’ll end up with butter!
-
Sweeten the Deal: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
-
Flavor Frenzy!: Stir in the vanilla extract (or almond extract, if using). Now’s your chance to get creative! Fold in your favorite mix-ins – chocolate chips, chopped nuts, fruit – the possibilities are endless!
-
Freeze and Feast!: Pour the ice cream mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
The 5-Minute Ice Cream Revolution
That’s it! In just five minutes, you’ve whipped up a batch of homemade ice cream that rivals anything you’d find in a store. The best part? You control the ingredients! No artificial flavors, fillers, or mystery ingredients here.
Tips for the Perfect Scoop
- For easier scooping, let the ice cream soften slightly on the counter for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Want a richer flavor? Use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream (be sure it’s chilled!).
- Feeling adventurous? Try different mix-in combinations! Crushed Oreos, chopped strawberries, or a swirl of Nutella are all delicious options.
So ditch the store-bought tubs and embrace the joy of homemade ice cream. With this easy recipe, you’ll be a scooping machine in no time!
