Super Summer Specials: No Churn Ice Cream
I figured since we are getting into summer months and the heat is starting to become unbearable, I would round up a bunch of No Churn Ice Cream recipes that you can do at home. You do not need an Ice Cream maker to do these recipes, all you need is something to put the ice cream into while its in the freezer (this must be chilled in advance as well) as well as a hand held mixer or whisk.
1. No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Pinch fine salt
2 cups heavy cream, cold
Optional Mix-Ins
Cookies and Cream: 12 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
Crunchy Cereal: 1 1/2 cups cinnamon crunch cereal, crushed
Cookies and Lemon: 1/2 cup jarred lemon curd and 1 cup shortbread cookies, crushed
Directions
For the ice cream: Whisk together the condensed milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy, like soft-serve, about 2 hours. Swirl in any desired mix-ins with a spoon. Continue to freeze, covered, until solid and scoop-able, about 3 hours more.
2. No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream
