Homemade Ice Cream with Only 3 Ingredients

Homemade Ice Cream with Only 3 Ingredients

This easy and creamy ice cream recipe requires just three simple ingredients and no gelatin. It’s perfect for those craving a delicious homemade treat without the fuss of an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 can (14 oz or 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Chocolate chips, crushed cookies, fruit puree, or nuts for flavor variations.

Instructions

Step 1: Whip the Cream

  1. Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter.

Step 2: Combine with Sweetened Condensed Milk

  1. Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Use a folding motion to retain the airiness of the whipped cream.
  2. If you’re using vanilla extract or other flavorings, mix them in at this stage.
