    No ice cream maker is required in this incredibly simple No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream. Only three ingredients are needed in this hassle-free, creamy and delicious treat!

    Not only is this homemade ice cream delicious, but it’s so much fun to make. Add your own creative spin by swirling in your favorite add-ins. The most difficult part of this recipe is waiting for it to freeze!

    Your Simple Ingredients

    A carton of whipping cream, a can of condensed milk and a bottle of vanilla extract.
    • Heavy whipping cream
    • Sweetened condensed milk
    • Vanilla extract

    How to Make It

    1. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
    2. In a separate large bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until thickened with stiff peaks using an electric hand mixer (or stand mixer).

    1. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold in whipped cream to the condensed milk and vanilla mixture.
    2. Pour into a 9 x 5 loaf pan, spread evenly and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm.

    Delicious Add-In Ideas

    The sky’s the limit when it comes to what you can swirl or mix in this ice cream. This is a base recipe (I love it as-is!) but here are some ideas that come to mind:

    • Chopped fruit
    • Chocolate or butterscotch chips
    • Chopped candy bar pieces
    • Chopped or crumbled cookies
    • Chopped nuts

    Or try my delicious no-churn strawberry lemon ice cream using lemon extract, lemon zest and fresh strawberries – YUM!

    I often enjoy this ice cream plain, but also love it scooped on apple pie bites, strawberry cobbler and cranberry apple crisp – it’s dessert heaven!

    Enjoy!
