Easy No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3–4 minutes.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Scoop and enjoy your homemade ice cream.

Optional Add-Ins:

Customize your ice cream with add-ins like chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or swirls of caramel or fruit puree. Simply fold these into the mixture before freezing.
