    • How Do I Make Ice Cream with Condensed Milk? (Here's How)

    Top Tips

    • To prevent ice crystals, mix the frozen mixture with a spatula every hour for 2 hours.
    • You can use a loaf pan to freeze the ice cream, just remember to cover it with plastic wrap.
    • Don't mix in the condensed milk, fold it because it helps retain the air bubbles you created when whipping the heavy whipping cream.

    Variations

    • Classic Vanilla: Use vanilla-flavored cookies and vanilla extract for a timeless treat.
    • Fresh Fruit: Add dried or fresh fruits like strawberries, berries (raspberries or blueberries) bananas, or peaches to the ice cream base for a refreshing twist.
    • Nutty Indulgence: Mix in chopped nuts such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts for a crunchy texture and rich flavor.
    • Mint Chocolate Chip: Stir in mint extract and chocolate chips for a refreshing and indulgent combination.
    • Coffee Lover's Bliss: Dissolve instant coffee granules in warm milk before adding to the ice cream base for a rich coffee flavor.
    • Peanut Butter Paradise: Swirl in creamy peanut butter for a decadent and satisfying treat.
    • Coconut Dream: Add shredded coconut to the ice cream base for a tropical twist.

    Substitutions

    • As this recipe is straightforward, no substitutions are recommended for heavy whipping cream or sweetened condensed milk.

    Storage

    • Jazz up your ice cream before you serve it! Top with hot fudge, chocolate ganache, fresh fruits, or any fruity syrup
    • Don't forget to add salt like I did, lol! You won't believe how a little pinch of salt makes a LOT of difference in the ice cream's taste!
    • Avoid mixing the whipped cream vigorously when adding the other ingredients to it. The correct way is slowly folding them in until well combined.

    Ingredients

    • heavy whipping cream
    • condensed milk
    • favorite cookies

    Instructions

    In a large bowl, add heavy whipping cream and using a whisk attachment, whip until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes on high.
    (You can use a hand mixer, but be prepared to spend some time standing.)

    It should look like this:

    Slowly fold in the condensed milk until well combined:

    Separate the condensed milk and whipped cream mixture into 3 bowls since we are making 3 different ice cream flavors:

    Now here is the exciting part - adding in your desired flavors!

    In this recipe, I used 2 kinds of Oreos and TimTam. Add the cookie chunks them mix thoroughly:

    whipped cream and chocolate oreo mixture
    whipped cream and timtam mixture

    Finally, pour the ice cream into individual cups and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours:

    I was so excited to taste this. Believe me, those 2 hours of waiting for it to become frozen was an agony, lol!

    FAQs

    Can I use condensed milk instead of heavy cream in ice cream?

    In no-churn ice cream, sweetened condensed milk serves as the base, while whipped cream adds the light, creamy texture.

    Why use condensed milk in ice cream?

    Creamy Texture: Sweetened condensed milk contributes to a smooth and creamy consistency in the ice cream.
    Sweetness: The natural sweetness of condensed milk eliminates the need for additional sugar in the recipe.
    No-Churn Option: Condensed milk is commonly used in no-churn ice cream recipes, making it easier to prepare without an ice cream maker.
    Binding Agent: Condensed milk helps bind the ingredients together, ensuring a cohesive mixture that freezes well.
