Homemade Creamy Ice Cream Recipe

Instructions:

  1. Whip the Cream:
    • In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).
  2. Prepare the Base:
    • In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  3. Combine:
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the milk mixture until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Customize:
    • At this point, fold in any mix-ins (chocolate chips, fruit puree, cookie crumbles, etc.).
  5. Freeze:
    • Pour mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container.
    • Cover with plastic wrap or lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
  6. Serve:
    • Scoop, serve, and enjoy your homemade creamy ice cream!

🔥 Tips for Extra Creaminess:

  • Add 1 tbsp of alcohol (like vodka, rum, or Baileys) to keep the ice cream softer and easier to scoop.
  • For chocolate ice cream, mix ½ cup cocoa powder into the condensed milk before folding in the whipped cream.

Would you like me to give you flavor variations (like cookies & cream, strawberry swirl, or peanut butter chocolate) for this base recipe?
