Save This! Make 6 Different Flavors of Ice Cream from One Ba

• servings: Makes about 2 quarts
• total time: 7 hours 11 minutes

Ingredients

1 carton heavy cream (1 pint / 16 oz / 2 cups), cold

2 cans sweetened condensed milk (14 oz each, 28 oz total)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Optional: mix-ins like crushed cookies, chocolate chips, fruit, or caramel swirls

Directions

Whip the Cream

In a large mixing bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3–4 minutes. You’re looking for a thick, whipped texture like whipped cream.

Add the Vanilla and Sweetened Condensed Milk . Gently fold in the vanilla extract and both cans of sweetened condensed milk. Use a spatula to fold it in slowly so you don’t deflate the whipped cream — this keeps the ice cream light and airy.

Add Mix-Ins (Optional)

Fold in your desired toppings or swirls. Try:

Crushed Oreos or Biscoff cookies

Chocolate chunks

Chopped strawberries or mango

Peanut butter ribbons or dulce de leche

Freeze

Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for 6 to 8 hours or overnight until fully set.

Serve

Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy creamy, homemade ice cream — no machine needed!
