Here’s a simple, very creamy 4-ingredient ice cream recipe that yields a generous amount — no ice cream machine needed.
🍨 Easy Homemade Ice Cream (4 Ingredients)
Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
That’s it!
Instructions
1️⃣ Whip the Cream
In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
(It should hold its shape but not look grainy.)
2️⃣ Mix the Base
In another bowl, combine:
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Stir until smooth.
3️⃣ Fold Gently
Add the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture.
Fold gently with a spatula to keep it airy and fluffy.
4️⃣ Freeze
Pour into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
🍦 Yield
Makes about 1.5 quarts (6–8 servings) depending on scoop size.
⭐ Optional Add-Ins (Mix Before Freezing)
- Chocolate chips
- Crushed cookies
- Strawberries or mango puree
- Caramel swirl
- Peanut butter ribbons
💡 Tips for Extra Creaminess
- Use very cold cream
- Don’t overmix after folding
- Let sit at room temperature 3–5 minutes before scooping
