How come this recipe doesn't use eggs?

This recipe skips using eggs because it's a no-churn method. Eggs are often used in ice cream for creaminess, but here, heavy cream and condensed milk do the job without needing eggs or an ice cream maker, making it easier to whip up your own homemade ice cream.

Top Tips

• Make sure the the whipped cream is fluffy with soft peaks before adding the condensed milk.
• Gently fold in the condensed milk without over mixing to maintain whipped cream's texture.

Substitution

• Heavy Whipping Cream: Use coconut cream if you want it dairy-free, or try whipped topping for convenience. (Note: You will need an ice cream maker if you choose not to use heavy whipping cream.)
• Condensed Milk: Swap with sweetened condensed coconut milk for a vegan choice, or go lighter with evaporated milk. (Note: You will need an ice cream maker if you choose not to use condensed milk.)
• Vanilla Extract: Try almond or mint extract for a different flavor twist.Crushed
• Oreos: Use crushed chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate chips for a similar texture and taste.

Variations

• Mint Chocolate Chip: Add a few drops of mint extract and mini chocolate chips to the ice cream mixture for a refreshing twist.
• Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl in some creamy peanut butter during the freezing process for a delicious peanut butter and chocolate combo.
• Cookies and Cream: Reserve some crushed Oreos and swirl them into the ice cream just before it finishes freezing for extra cookie crunch.
• Double Chocolate: Mix in cocoa powder or chocolate syrup to the ice cream base for an extra chocolatey flavor.

Storage

• Container: Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. This helps prevent freezer burn and keeps the ice cream fresh.
• Cover: Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container. This creates a barrier that reduces ice crystal formation.
• Freezing: Place the container in the coldest part of your freezer, typically towards the back. Ensure the temperature is set below freezing (0°F or -18°C) to keep the ice cream solid.
• Use Within Timeframe: Homemade ice cream is best consumed within 1-2 weeks for optimal taste and texture. Over time, ice cream can develop freezer burn and lose its quality.

Ingredients

• sweetened condensed milk

• crushed Oreos cookies

Instructions

In a stand mixer or a large bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and mix until it has stiff peaks. You can also use a hand mixer:

While mixing the whipped cream, you can add in the vanilla extract and continue mixing:

Next, add in the condensed milk:

Fold (do not mix) in the condensed milk using a spatula or a spoon. This technique helps give the light and airy texture of ice cream:

Then fold in the Oreos and I crushed the Oreos using a spoon:

In a loaf pan, pour the ice cream and level off until the brim of the loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer overnight:

Allow the ice cream to sit for about 5 minutes on the container for easy scooping.
