With just a few simple ingredients and a mixer, you can create a delicious and creamy frozen treat that is sure to impress your family and friends.
ingredient
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste, or extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Directions
- Flavor the Sweetened Condensed Milk – In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla bean paste and set aside.
- Whip the Cream – In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream. Whisk on medium-high (setting 8) until a fluffy and smooth consistency is reached and stiff peaks form, about 1 ½ to 2 minutes. It should hold its shape when lifted from the bowl. Do not over-whip!
- Alternatively, hand whisk by adding the heavy cream to a chilled large metal bowl. Slightly tilt the bowl and vigorously whisk until stiff peaks form, about 3 ½ to 4 minutes.
- Make the Ice Cream Base – Gently fold in ⅓ of the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Add the remaining whipped cream and gently fold in until the mixture is smooth with just a few small lumps left. Do not deflate the mixture by over-mixing!
- Freeze the Ice Cream – Transfer the ice cream base to a 9×5 loaf pan or container large enough to hold a 1-quart mixture. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top. Cover with a piece of parchment paper that fits just the surface of the ice cream. Cover the pan tightly with foil or lid. Freeze until hardened, about 6 hours.
