I don’t have an ice cream making machine or one of those churning thingies, but I wanted some ice cream the other day, and I found this recipe that only takes 3 ingredients. It makes delicious ice cream and you don’t have to churn anything.
The gist of it: heavy whipping cream, a can of sweetened condensed milk, some vanilla extract, and a mixer.
I’ve modified the recipe because the first batch I made was too sweet. Here is my second batch.
2.5 cups heavy whipping cream cream
1 14 oz can of condensed milk
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
5 fresh strawberries, chopped and sprinkled with 1 tsp of sugar
some strawberry glaze I had lying around
Put the whipping cream into the mixer and beat it until it’s stiff. With the standing mixer, this takes about 3 minutes. If you overbeat it, the cream will collapse, so beat it just until stiff peaks from.
Switch the mixer to low speed and slowly mix in 1 can of sweetened condensed milk. Then Slowly mix in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Now the base is done. I added strawberries because that’s what kids asked for.
I mixed that in very carefully. Then I poured the whole kaboodle into a metal breadloaf pan.
Now we cover it with plastic wrap, making sure that there is as little air between ice cream and wrap as possible. Don;t worry, wrap comes right off.
Stick in the freezer for 4 hours.
Tada! Eh, well I made it yesterday, but this is what is left this morning.
How about a no-sugar-added version?
Mix frozen strawberries/blueberries/raspberries/etc. into cold yoghurt and…
Instant Frozen Yoghurt!! I often add a sweet fruit like frozen mangos if the berries alone are a bit too tart.
You can buzz frozen Berry’s to be yummy
This is my go to basic recipe for the easiest icecream ever. It is absolutely delicious. I make a white chocolate version and I have even made a peanut butter one which was absolutely yummy.
For the white chocolate one I melt one bar of Lindt EXCELLENCE Extra Silky White into the egg yolks once I have beaten them. I do that with anything I add to the basic recipe base as I think it mixes the flavours in more. But I have used it to make maple syrup icecream bitter orange icecream lemon iceream coffee icecream and raspberry icecream
I usually freeze it over night 🙂 🙂

There is a video on the page so you can see how she makes it. Eggs, castor sugar and cream what could be easier 🙂 🙂
Hey can you pls leave a recipe for coffee ice cream??
Same as the vanilla directions, basically, but dissolve two tablespoons instant espresso powder (I use 4 or 4 Tbsp regular instant coffee) in a quarter cup of very hot water, and add that to the condensed milk (I add vanilla then, too) and chill it in the fridge for a while to play nice with the whipped cream.
4 or 5 Tbsp*, sorry!
Also, a little salt boosts the flavor (not a lot!), and mixing in some nuts and/or chocolate is a good way to help dress this up.
Hi Would you mind posting the peanut butter ice cream recipe. Would love to have a go making it. ????
I just add about 3 tablespoons of my favourite unsalted peanut butter to the whipped egg yolks It tastes really good I think but I guess it will depend on the type of peanut butter you use. One of our nephews is addicted to it 🙂 🙂
Here’s a lemon no churn that turned out well: https://food52.com/blog/22594-genius-no-churn-fresh-lemon-ice-cream-and-quick-candied-sesame-seeds.

Sincerely Bridget Cassidy
Sounds sooooo good! Gotta try when possible!
I sent my husband to get the ingredients……
Oo, giving this a try right now, just waiting for the strawberries and sugar to sit and make syrup before continuing, and I am excited to try it!
I’ve made cantaloupe, chocolate, berry swirl and walnut, all are quite tasty.
Thanks for the cool post, Ilona. This brings back fond memories of my mother using the same style mixer and teaching me as a young whipper snapper how to beat cream just until it’s stiff. I remember that “aha” moment when it changes so clearly. My mom (with a high school GED) would explain the chemistry of cooking to me — the how and why things changed when you beat them or added this or that. Unfortunately my brain doesn’t think that way and it never stuck!
