I’m a big fan of making ice-cream at home but I’ve never found a vanilla ice-cream that I really love. They’re all custard based/use 5 egg yolks/require cooking or are just plain complicated and taste weird. I mean they’re good, but they just don’t have that soft, creamy consistency of the store bought ice-cream that I love so much.

And then I discovered this recipe for Easy Homemade Ice Cream without a Machine from Kevin and Amanda. It looked way too good to be true but I can assure you, it’s not. I’ve been making this ice-cream for about 5 years now and it never gets old! Not only is it extremely easy to make, it has that perfect soft texture that I had been searching for! And tastes divine.
Ever better, it is the perfect base for any creation under the sun. Swirl through salted caramel sauce, make a peanut butter version, a mint chocolate chip version – the world is your oyster!
It couldn’t be more simple. Pour 250mls of cream into a mixer bowl and whip it until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl pour a tin of condensed milk and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix it all together and fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until it looks and feels like a cloud. Delightful! Pour into a freezable container and throw it in the freezer.
That’s it.
Promise.
Nope, not even joking. Let it freeze overnight and then eat to your heart’s content.
Top with hot fudge sauce or salted caramel sauce and it’s ice-cream heaven!

Hey Laura! This looking amazing! I love the idea of knowing exactly what’s in my ice cream… rather than the questionable ‘frozen dairy treats’ sold in supermarkets. Thanks for linking up today, I can’t wait to see what you’ve got for us next week!

I completely agree! There doesn’t need to be anything yucky extra added! I love your link ups, can’t wait for next week =) x
I absolutely love ice cream and simple vanilla is my favorite!! This looks perfect. Plus, love that it doesn’t require an ice cream maker 🙂
I love that about it too! I have an ice-cream maker but this is just so good that I make this more than I use my ice-cream maker! =) There is nothing as good as a simple vanilla!
This looks delicious! I cannot wait to try this recipe during the summer. Can’t go wrong with a good vanilla ice cream.
