Easy Ice Cream Recipe: 4 Ingredients and Very Creamy, Yields Well

Here’s a simple and delicious 4-Ingredient Easy Ice Cream recipe that’s creamy and super quick to make!

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups heavy cream (whipping cream)
  2. 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  3. 1 tsp vanilla extract (or any flavor you like)
  4. Pinch of salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Optional Add-ins:

  • Chocolate chips
  • Fruit (like strawberries, blueberries, or mango chunks)
  • Crushed cookies or nuts
  • Caramel or chocolate sauce

Instructions:

  1. Whip the Heavy Cream:
    • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks (about 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed). You should see the cream holding its shape but still soft, not stiff.
  2. Mix Condensed Milk & Vanilla:
    • In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Fold Everything Together:
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much. Fold until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Freeze:
    • Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing out the top. Cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, then freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, until firm.
  5. Serve:
    • Once it’s frozen, scoop and serve your creamy, homemade ice cream! You can also top it with chocolate sauce, sprinkles, or any of your favorite toppings.

Tips:

  • You can easily double or halve this recipe depending on how much ice cream you want to make.
  • To make it extra special, add your favorite mix-ins like crushed cookies, fruit, or nuts before freezing.
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can try using flavored extracts (like almond, coconut, or mint) instead of vanilla.

Enjoy your super creamy, 4-ingredient ice cream! 🍦
