    Our No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream requires just F-O-U-R ingredients and is freezer ready in 5!

    This past weekend, we were treated to some be-a-U-tiful springtime temps in the Sierras and got to enjoy some quality time outdoors with the fam. After our fun in the sun, we came inside and whipped together this SIMPLE No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream to enjoy with our bounty of Coscto berries. Oh BOY. It did not disappoint. Rich, creamy, perfectly sweet ice cream with bright, fresh berries were just what the weekend called for. Better yet? It requires just FOUR ingredients to make. Four!

    You can dress this recipe up with your favorite mix-ins, but we admit, we are kind of partial to keeping things simple. After all, "There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn't that kind of the point?" (where are our Office friends at)? We've been enjoying this perfect pairing all week long and are on our last few scoops - just in time to make a fresh batch for this weekend!

    If you are a chocolate lover, be sure to check out our No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream which is equally as easy and delicious and reminds Stephen of a Wendy's Frosty. Bold statement, we know.

    No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

    A rich and decadent no-churn recipe that requires just FOUR ingredients and is an absolute pinch to make!
    Cook Time5 minutes mins
    Chilling Time3 hours hrs
    Total Time3 hours hrs 5 minutes mins
    Course: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 12 servings
    Calories: 244kcal

    Ingredients

    • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk *see notes below
    • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
    • 2 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup mix-ins of choice (fruit, brownies, cookie crumbles) optional

    Instructions

    • Add condensed milk, vanilla, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk together until fully combined.
    • Using a stand or hand mixer, whip cream until firm peaks form, approximately 3 minutes.
    • Add half of the whipped cream to the bowl with condensed milk and gently stir to combine.
    • Finally, pour the bowl mixture into the remaining whipped cream and fold to combine. At this time, also fold in any preferred mix-ins, if using.
    • Pour mixture into a glass or metal loaf pan and chill for 3 hours, or until set.

    Notes

    *We have made this recipe with regular condensed milk all the way down to low fat condensed milk. We recommend the regular condensed milk for an ultra rich, creamy consistency which pairs perfectly with fruit and the low fat for a lighter, fluffier, (still super creamy!) consistency to be enjoyed on its own or with brownies.

      We have always liked Breyers Chocolate Chip Ice Cream but you can't find it here in our area. So I tried Dreyers brand Slow Churned Chocolate Chip ice cream, and it was just okay, a bit watery and not much flavor. I thought to myself "maybe I should try to make my own vanilla at home from scratch and add some chocolate chips." But I was afraid it would require a lot more ingredients and effort to make. This sounds easy to prepare and delicious. You must have read my mind!

        Oh bummer! That is always so disappointing when a flavor doesn't live up to what you hoped it would. This is definitely an easy throw together recipe. We are actually thinking of making again this weekend and adding some chocolate ourselves! We hope you love it!
