Simple Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

Inside: A simple recipe for homemade no-churn ice cream.

Now, when you think of summer what comes to mind? I can tell you what I look forward to the most… ice cream!! Yum!! The sound of the ice cream van tinkling through the streets brings back happy memories of summer days as a child.

Unfortunately ice creams do not cost 99p these days so I thought it would be fun to make our own ice cream. I have THE best recipe to share with you, one that you will use over and over again!!

Homemade no churn ice cream is so easy to make. With just 2 main ingredients of whipping cream and condensed milk, you will have tasty ice cream ready to eat in no time. Add in extra ingredients such as chocolate chips or marshmallow to make your own flavour and you’ll never bother with shop bought again.

Read on to find out the exact quantities you need…

What is no churn ice cream?

Traditional ice cream is made using milk, cream, milk solids, sugars and modifying agents. These are mixed together and then heated to high temperatures and cooled quickly to kill any bacteria. It is then left to solidify before freezing and beating to add air.

This is far too complicated a process to do at home without an ice cream making machine (if you’d rather to that then I hear this one is great!). So instead, you can use a no-churn recipe that simply involves mixing and freezing. It also cuts out all of the modifying agents and unnecessary additives.

Ingredients for no-churn ice cream

– Condensed milk

– Double cream

... and that is it!!!!

Of course you can add your own extras to make different flavours but the basic ingredients are nice and simple.
