Instructions
-
Prepare the Base: In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and half-and-half cream. Stir well to ensure that the mixture is smooth and well blended. This will be the base of your ice cream.
-
Freeze the Mixture: Pour the prepared mixture into your ice cream maker’s container. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for your specific machine, which will involve churning and freezing the mixture until it reaches the consistency of soft serve.
-
Store Leftovers: If you have any leftover ice cream, store it in an airtight container in the freezer. It will continue to firm up as it freezes completely.
-
Fruit Ice Cream Variation: To make a delicious fruit-flavored version of this ice cream, start by reducing the half-and-half cream to just 1 cup. Then, add 1 cup of pureed or mashed fruit of your choice, such as bananas, peaches, or strawberries. A few drops of food coloring can be added if you want a more vibrant color to match the fruit flavor. Mix thoroughly and proceed with the freezing process as described above.
Serving Suggestions
This creamy, egg-free ice cream can be served as a standalone treat or topped with your favorite toppings such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion, especially during the warmer months when you’re craving something cool and satisfying.
Additional Tips
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture in a shallow container, freeze it for about an hour, then stir it every 30 minutes to break up the ice crystals until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- You can experiment with different flavorings like almond extract, chocolate chips, or a swirl of peanut butter for added variety.
Enjoy this rich, creamy, and simple egg-free ice cream for a refreshing dessert with just a few ingredients and no hassle!
