Making homemade ice cream doesn't have to be complicated, and with just three simple ingredients, you can whip up a delicious frozen treat in no time.
This easy recipe requires only heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract, yet it delivers a rich, creamy texture that rivals store-bought ice cream.
The best part is that no ice cream maker is needed—just a mixer and a little patience while it freezes. To start, pour two cups of heavy cream into a mixing bowl and whip it until stiff peaks form.
Once the cream is whipped, gently fold in one can of sweetened condensed milk, ensuring that you keep the mixture light and fluffy.
Finally, add two teaspoons of vanilla extract for that classic ice cream flavor, though you can experiment with other flavors like chocolate, coffee, or fruit purees if you prefer.
Mix everything until well combined, then transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover it tightly, and freeze for at least six hours or until the ice cream is firm.
When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
This three-ingredient ice cream is not only incredibly easy to make, but it also provides a perfect base for creative mix-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or fresh berries.
