What you’ll need

Most of these recipes are the type of homemade ice cream with whipped heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk, some sour cream. the items to flavor the ice cream you’d like, a loaf pan or similar to put the ice cream in, plastic wrap to cover it, and your freezer.

You will need to whip up the heavy cream, so a hand mixer, immersion blender with the whip attachment, or a stand mixer can be used or you can whip it by hand with a whisk. It may surprise you how quick it is to put together a batch of this no-churn ice cream. After your whip, the cream just drizzle in the sweetened condensed milk as your mixing and then add in your favorite flavors or click on one of my recipes below It takes minutes.

Also, no clearing out your freezer to fit a large tub to use with electric ice cream makers. This method takes of minimal space in your freezer, and you can choose the size and shape of the pan you use.

Scooping out ice cream

I have found a few things to help keep your ice cream scoopable, be sure to cover the top of your pan with plastic wrap or a container with a lid. I store my ice cream in the top area of my freezer and I’m able to easily scoop it out easily. I have heard that adding a bit of alcohol to the mix will prevent the ice cream from freezing really hard, so you can give it a try, but it won’t be for sharing with the kids. If your ice cream is a little more difficult to scoop, leave it out on the counter for 10 minutes, run your scoop under hot water dry it, then scoop is also a tip to scoop it more easily. Alternatively, you can place parchment or wax paper in your pan prior to adding the ice cream mixture, then you can lift out the “block of ice cream and slice it. It’s a super fun way to serve ice cream!
