No-Churn Ice Cream

No-churn ice cream is a popular and easy method for making homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker. Here's a basic recipe for making no-churn ice cream:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Flavorings and mix-ins of your choice (e.g., chocolate chips, fruit, cookies, etc.)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. You can use an electric mixer or a whisk.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the mixture light and airy.
4. At this stage, you can add your desired flavorings and mix-ins to the ice cream base. For example, you can fold in chocolate chips, diced fruit, crushed cookies, or any other ingredients you like.
5. Transfer the mixture to a lidded container, such as a loaf pan or an airtight container.
6. Cover the container and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the ice cream to set.
7. Once the ice cream is frozen and ready to serve, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy!

No-churn ice cream is incredibly versatile, and you can experiment with different flavors and combinations. You can add cocoa powder for chocolate ice cream, fruit purees for fruity flavors, or crushed cookies for a cookies and cream variation. The possibilities are endless!

Remember to keep the ice cream stored in the freezer when not serving to maintain its consistency. Enjoy your homemade, no-churn ice cream!
