Here’s a super simple and creamy 4-ingredient homemade ice cream you can make without an ice cream machine 🍦
🍨 Easy Homemade Ice Cream (4 Ingredients)
📝 Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Whip the cream
In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream using a mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3–5 minutes). - Mix the base
In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. - Fold gently
Slowly fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Be gentle so you keep it light and airy. - Freeze
Pour the mixture into a container, smooth the top, and cover. - Wait (hardest part 😅)
Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
🍓 Optional Add-ins:
- Chocolate chips
- Crushed cookies (like Oreo)
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, mango, banana)
- Caramel or chocolate swirl
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, add cocoa powder for chocolate ice cream
- Don’t overmix when folding — that’s the secret to creamy texture
- Store in an airtight container to avoid ice crystals
This recipe is rich, creamy, and melts in your mouth — you’ll never want store-bought again! 😍
