Homemade Ice Cream Without a Machine

Seriously, this could be one of the best discoveries ever. Homemade ice cream that only requires 2 ingredients and doesn't need a machine? You've got to be joking! I stumbled across the idea on Kevin and Amanda. She linked up a recipe that required only a small amount of sweetened and condensed milk and suggested making the ice cream to use the remainder of the can of sweetened condensed milk. The second I clicked on the link to the ice cream and saw what the recipe was I remembered I had seen the recipe on Our Best Bites a while back and completely forgot about it.  I  looked for it on OBB and discovered they also had the recipe linked up to Kevin and Amanda.  OBB has a great picture tutorial (and instructions to make it in a machine if you have one). Kevin and Amanda has a bunch of variations on the recipe if you are looking for different flavor ice cream ideas.   This ice cream was really easy to make. It makes a pretty good vanilla ice cream and I think it would be even better as a base for a lot of different mix ins. Next time, I'm thinking strawberry icecream.


Homemade No Machine Ice cream
  • 2 Cups heavy whipping cream
  • 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)

Whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks start to form. Mix together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Fold whipped cream into sweetened condensed milk (slowly and carefully, so cream doesn't collapse). Fold until well combined. Pour into container and freeze at least 6 hours or until firm.
Here it is all mixed together, ready to be placed in the freezer.

  15. I love coffee ice cream. Can I add instant coffee crystals or extra strong coffee to the mix before freezing?

    1. I honestly have no idea. I don't do coffee in my house. However, if I did try it, I would mix it with the sweetened condensed milk before I folded it into the whipped cream.

    2. I was thinking about this (as I was in the store getting cream and condensed milk to try this) you could probably make an espresso and let it chill. Or mix a scoop of instant coffee with a small bit of milk or water and add it to the condensed milk before you fold it in!

  16. Do you know if this can be made vegan? :)

I'm sorry, but I've turned word verification on again. I hate trying to decipher the words just as much as anyone, but I'm getting way too much spam. I tried doing comment moderation as people suggested but the number or spam comments I had to sift through was ridiculous. I appreciate your comments and didn't want them to get lost among the spam. Hopefully, I can reduce the amount of spam and turn the word verification off soon.
