Do you like magic tricks?
Oh, you do? Me, too!
What I have to show you today is part recipe, part magic trick. Just two ingredients make the most creamy, melt-in-your-mouth ice cream you’ve ever tasted. And it’s perfect for people who like to limit their kitchen gadgets (like me) because you don’t. need. an ice cream maker.
Rejoice!
I made my first flavor – a sinfully good Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream – and quickly became addicted. As if ice cream wasn’t already a serious problem during this pregnancy! You could say I went a little overboard with six flavors, sure… But, did Noah go overboard stuffing his ark full of strange animals?
I rest my case.
So, you wanna make your own 2-ingredient, no-churn ice cream? Let me show you the way…
All you need is love. Wait, no. You need heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and your favorite mix-ins. Plus, yes, a love of ice cream. That’s it!
Whip your cream into a big heap of gorgeous white fluff. Meanwhile, mix your sweetened condensed milk with whatever good stuff you like. Crushed cookies, fresh fruit, cocoa powder, toffee bits, marshmallows – get creative!
My personal favorite? A combo of yellow cake mix, butter and sprinkles for Cake Batter Funfetti Ice Cream.
Have mercy!
Just combine your fluffy whipped cream and condensed milk mixture in a big bowl, mix ‘em up and pour into a container. Done and done!
In 6 hours (I know, seems like an eternity, but you can do it) you’ll have the most velvety smooth, rich and delicious ice cream imaginable. A fabulous no-churn, egg-free and fuss-free frozen treat!
You’re just gonna flip over all the delicious ice cream flavors you can create! I’ve outlined a few knockout favorites below from my experimenting (and extensive sampling). But feel free to get creative with your mix-ins.
The two ingredients truly make one of the best ice creams I’ve ever tasted, and I know I’ll be trying new flavors all summer long. Grab your ingredients and give it a whirl, too!
