Ingredients:
Ice Cream:
- One 300 ml can sweetened condensed milk (this is different from evaporated milk)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Pinch fine grain salt
- 2 cups 35% cream, cold (this is also referred to as heavy cream or whipping cream)
Equipment:
- One 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan (chilled in the freezer prior to use)
- Whisk
- Hand-held mixer (if you don’t have a mixer, a whisk will work but will require more time to whip the cream)
- Rubber spatula
Directions:
Step 1: Whisk together the condensed milk, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form for about 2 minutes. If you don’t have a mixer, you can use a whisk but it will take longer for the cream to form firm peaks.
Step 3: With a rubber spatula, fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until just combined, then add the remaining whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture.
Step 4: Pour the ice cream mixture into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy like soft-serve for about 2 hours.
Step 5: After about 2 hours, swirl in any desired mix-ins (see below) with a spoon. Continue to freeze, covered, until solid and scoopable, for about 3 hours more or overnight.
Variations:
Mint chocolate chip: Replace the vanilla extract with mint extract and add a ½ cup of chocolate chips in Step 5
Chocolate: Add ¼ - ½ cup of cocoa powder in Step 1 (sift the cocoa powder so it’s easier to mix). For double chocolate, add a ½ cup of chocolate chips in Step 5.
Coffee: Add 2 tablespoons of instant espresso powder (instant coffee powder would also work) in Step 1
Caramel: Replace the sweetened condensed milk with caramel condensed milk (also known as dulce de leche). Note: The brand of condensed milk called “Eagle Brand” carries a dulce de leche condensed milk.
The possibilities are endless so get creative!
