π§ Ingredients For Creamy Ice Cream with Condensed Milk

-
1 tsp vanilla extract (or any preferred flavoring)
-
Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, nuts, caramel, fruit puree, etc.
π©βπ³ Instructions:
-
Whip the Cream:
In a large chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3β4 minutes). -
Mix Condensed Milk & Flavoring:
In another bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and vanilla extract (or other flavors like cocoa powder, coffee, or fruit puree). -
Combine:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Use a spatula to mix carefully β keep the mixture airy for that light, creamy texture. -
Add Mix-ins (Optional):
Fold in chocolate chips, fruit bits, or nuts if desired. -
Freeze:
Pour the mixture into an airtight container, smooth the top, and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. -
Serve:
Scoop and enjoy! For easier scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
π Notes:
-
Keep your cream very cold before whipping β it helps create better volume and texture.
-
Donβt overmix after combining; it can make the texture dense.
-
You can divide the base into smaller containers and flavor each one differently (chocolate, strawberry, coffee, etc.).
π‘ Tips:
-
Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness.
-
For chocolate ice cream: mix ΒΌ cup cocoa powder with the condensed milk before folding in the whipped cream.
-
For fruity flavors: swirl in Β½ cup fruit puree like mango or strawberry before freezing.
