A dreamy, scoopable vanilla ice cream made without an ice cream maker — just whipped cream folded into sweetened condensed milk and frozen.
Ingredients
- heavy cream2 cups, very cold
- sweetened condensed milk1 (14 oz) can
- vanilla bean paste1 tbsp (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
- kosher salt1/4 tsp
Steps
Whisk condensed milk mixture.
Whisk condensed milk, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl.
Whip cream to stiff peaks.
In another chilled bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks with a hand mixer, about 3 minutes.
Fold whipped cream into condensed milk.
Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk to lighten. Gently fold in the rest until no streaks remain.
Transfer mixture to loaf pan.
Scrape into a loaf pan, smooth the top, and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
Freeze and rest before scooping.
Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight. Let sit 5 minutes at room temp before scooping.
