Easy Peasy Homemade Ice Cream to Die For

ATS you are either going to love me or hate me for this recipe. Ice cream is the only food in my book that competes with bacon. I made this recipe yesterday expecting it to be so so.... Was I ever wrong! So let me get right to it so you can whip up your own batch. Only 4 ingredients and about 10 mins of your time.

2 Cups whipping cream (can also be heavy whipping cream)
1 14.5 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 Tablespoons vanilla or flavoring of your choice
2 Tablespoons of Liquor I used rum, this is an important ingredient.

Mix together condensed milk, vanilla and liquor in bowl and set aside
With an electric hand mixer whip cream till soft peaks form and then fold into milk mixture.
Place in container and freeze 6-8 hrs.

Before adding whipped cream to milk mixture you can add anything you want to make it your own. I toasted unsweetened coconut and it was amazing. Now the reason that the liquor is important is it keeps ice crystals from forming and that allows for the ice cream to be so creamy. You will not believe that you did not hand churn or use an ice cream maker! And there's no need to mix again half way through the freezing process which is another added bonus to this recipe.

After 3 helpings since last night, I have promised myself this will only be a once a month treat, now if I can say that like I mean it.

Enjoy!

I have to try this one! Sounds really good! I am thinking maple flavoring with some toasted pecans............

I have some Godiva chocolate liqueur in the cabinet calling to your recipe. I'll whip up a quick batch of home made caramel sauce to top it with...


I'm gonna die eating this stuff...but what a way to go...

Do you think using an extract would replace the liqueur as it is mostly alcohol anyway?. Either or nice find! Gonna try this.

That sounds sooo good and replace the rum with bourbon!

As I thought, there's no end to what you can put in this, I am in so much trouble. LOL mmm choc liquor...

sounds delicious, will try as soon as I find out how many gramms or mililiter 2 cups of whipping cream are

Wow. You must have read my mind!

I have been wanting to find an easy ice cream recipe since everything in the store is HFCS laced or "Frozen Dairy Dessert."

I could sooooo make some awesome combinations with this recipe.

Thanks! Now time to stock up on the heavy whipping cream!

Of all the low down, rotten, nasty, evil things I've seen posted on ATS, yours is the most despicable.
Your thread will in no way go unnoticed.
On my waist.
Can't WAIT to try this!
With Maraschino cherries. Then a batch with strawberries. OH! Crumbled Oreo cookies! Crushed Butterfingers! Oh, what to make first?
I think I shall gather up every small container I own, and do a medley.
Yeah, that's what I'll do; create my own little heaven on earth!
I need a new wardrobe, anyway.......

Daddy's gonna need a new belt! Sounds remarkable. Can't wait to try this. Going to see how many ingredients I have now.

This sounds wonderful. Will have to try with a few different alcohols, since not really into spirits like that to begin with. Perhaps some real vanilla extract, or chocolate liqueur. I just won't eat much of anything else, a nibble of cheese, and a little fruit.

500 ml equals two cups

Dammit!!! You said 10 minutes at the beginning of your thread! Now I have to wait 6=8 HOURs and 10 minutes... Nope...going to the store. Mouth began watering immediately. I'm mixing rum in it when I get back too. Captain Morgan Black. Arrrr.
Got a little captain in ya... ice cream.
All seriousness aside, Thanks for the recipe, I'll have me winch whip it up in th morn.

I've tried it (without the Liqueur) and it actually works, and tastes great. No preservatives! Much healthier than processed ice cream.

Can you use a plant milk? Like almond -coconut? This sounds really sweet.

reply to post by Unity_99

Hi Unity, I suppose if the extract had alcohol in it that it would keep the ice crystals from forming, let me know if you try it.

reply to post by missvicky


I don't know about the plant milk Missvicky. The whipped cream helps to make it light and creamy and the condensed milk probably adds the volume and density. This recipe is no sweeter than store bought ice cream, but I too wouldn't mind it being a little less sweet. I'm thinking of looking for a lower calorie condensed milk. Honestly though, this recipe is so simple that I'm sure it can handle a little tweaking. Let me know if you try the plant milk.
