Here’s a super easy Vanilla “Iced” Cream recipe — basically homemade vanilla ice cream without an ice cream maker 🍨❄️
🍦 Super Easy Vanilla “Iced” Cream
🧾 Ingredients
-
2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional toppings: chocolate chips, sprinkles, fruit, or cookie pieces
🔪 Instructions
1️⃣ Whip the Cream
-
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip cream until stiff peaks form.
2️⃣ Fold in Sweetened Condensed Milk
-
Gently fold in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until fully combined.
-
Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
3️⃣ Freeze
-
Pour mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container.
-
Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Cover and freeze at least 4–6 hours, or overnight for firm ice cream.
4️⃣ Serve
-
Scoop and enjoy as-is, or top with your favorite sauces, nuts, or sprinkles.
🟢 Tips
-
Extra creamy: fold in ½ cup chopped chocolate, berries, or cookie bits before freezing.
-
Soft scoop: let sit 5–10 minutes at room temperature before scooping.
-
Flavor variations: swap vanilla for chocolate, coffee, or caramel extract.
🔁 Variations
-
Strawberry: fold in 1 cup pureed strawberries before freezing
-
Mint chocolate chip: add ½ tsp peppermint extract + mini chocolate chips
-
Peanut butter swirl: fold in ¼ cup peanut butter before freezing
If you want, I can give a 1-minute “no-whip, super lazy version” that uses only 2 ingredients and freezes just as creamy.
