Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, pour 2 cups of heavy cream. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This process should take 3-5 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully blended.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix just until incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Step 4
If using any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped fruit, or nuts, gently fold them into the ice cream base at this stage.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent freezer burn.
Step 6
Freeze the mixture for at least 6 hours or overnight, until firm.
Step 7
To serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Enjoy your homemade ice cream!
