    The easiest and most delicious homemade no churn vanilla ice-cream! You only need 3 ingredients and 10 minutes to make a batch of this - no ice-cream maker needed!

    This post was originally published in March 2015 – it has been retested, rephotographed, rewritten, and republished (to make it better for you!) in January 2019.

    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.

    Promise.

    Nope, not even joking. Let it freeze overnight and then eat to your heart's content.

        You can mix in anything you like! And it definitely doesn't last as long as bought ice cream in the freezer, I would say it's best eaten in 2 months as it can harden or get a bit icy. But ours never lasts that long!

      I made this version one day when I was cooking professionally.
      (some bright spark had dropped the ice cream maker.....Aiiiiiii!!!!!).
      And had dinner service looming...
      I have usually made it with an Anglaise base, which you can make without churning, but it's a lengthy process because you have to take it out of the freezer every two hours to break down the ice crystals.
      This is such a dream recipe.
      Will be making this with Miss 6.8.
      Thank you!!!

      When you say cream, are you referring to evaporate milk, whipping cream, whole milk or something else? I was watching kids baking championship and two of the boys made that ice cream. They used whole milk and condensed milk, but I’m not sure about the cream. I do know they whipped it. I would really like to try this.

        Hi Helen, just whipping cream. I'm not sure how it would work with whole milk as whipping the cream is what gives it the beautiful consistency!

        Love this - super easy and endless flavour variations. A regular summer treat.
        To cut the super sweetness I add in about a cup (250ml) Greek yoghurt. It adds a lovely tang which is particularly yummy with raspberry sauce!

      Hi there,

      What fat percentage would you use for the cream?

      Thanks you

        Hi Raha, I use standard cream (NZ) which I believe is about 35% fat. Laura

      I love this recipe! I have tried, and failed, to make homemade ice cream before, but this recipe is great! It is quite sweet, so I don't have much at once. Other than that, it is a great recipe.

      I have just made this ice cream but made it dairy free. I used coconut cream and condensed coconut milk. My daughter is dairy free and we trying to be additive free too so homemade is best. Waiting for it to freeze now....

        Hi there, just wondering how the ice cream recipe turned out using the coconut cream and the condensed coconut milk? My husband is dairy free, so if good I'd like to give it a go.

      I found this recipe years ago. Been making it ever since. It's delish. I have added different essenses such as caramel with chopped caramel sweets. Peppermint essence with chopped peppermint aero. Strawberry, with real fruit and a bit of jam swirled through. Try 2 tsp coffee mixed with tiny bit of hot water and cool. Add to your icecream mix. So easy to make.

      Added crushed crunchy bars. Better than hockey pokey!!

      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!
