    The summer is quickly approaching. If you are anything like me, then you cannot wait to enjoy as many frozen treats as possible. That definitely includes ice cream.

    Speaking of ice cream, I remember when I was little and each summer my dad would pull out his special ice cream maker. This thing required salt to make it work and I remember that it made the loudest sound as the container with the sweet mixture would turn around and around in the ice and salt mixture to turn the creamy base into frozen ice cream.

    Now don’t get me wrong, the homemade ice cream was certainly worth the wait and the noise. I remember he would add in fresh strawberries or peaches. Each time I would savor the sweet treat wondering why he did not make it more often.

    Once I grew up, I realized exactly why he reserved this special ice cream for special occasions. It was a whole entire process to make. The creamy mixture had to be made first, followed by setting up the big machine, and I can only imagine the headache it must have been to break that thing down and clean it.

    I know that with time, ice cream machines are better, faster and quiet…but today I am going to share with you a recipe that requires no machine whatsoever. That’s right, no churning is needed to enjoy homemade ice cream at home.

    How to make Homemade Ice Cream:

    To make no churn ice cream, all you need is two simple ingredients, which are whipping cream and canned sweetened condensed milk. Mix these two ingredients together plus any flavor combination that you can come up with and wiz it all together with an electric mixer. That is it! The only hard part about this recipe is waiting for it to set in the freezer.

    What ingredients are needed to make no churn ice cream?

    1. Whipping cream
    2. Condensed milk
    3. Vanilla extract
    4. Chocolate sandwich cookies

    How to make this cookies and cream ice cream recipe?

    Using a medium-size mixing bowl, add in the whipping cream, and use a mixer on medium speed to begin whipping until stiff peaks form.

      HEAVEN. I do agree - I want to squeeze out every last glorious minute of summer summer summer! My favorite ice cream place closes from the end of October until early April but I just found out they'll stay open through November too. Yay!
      That said, I'm totally making this all winter long to remember how good life is in the summer.

      Cookies and cream is my absolute favorite ice cream flavor. I’ve loved it since I was a child. This summer flew by 🙁 My parents used to rent an old school ice cream maker where you had to churn and churn hours and they used rock salt to keep the ice around the ice cream cylinder cold. We usually had it for summer BBQs, guest got a kick out of taking turns churning, and by the time everyone was tired of cranking the ice cream was magically done. Your version of Cookies and Cream Ice Cream looks delicious, now if we could only find a way to make it calorie free it would be perfect for me.

        YES!! That is exactly what I was trying to describe...the old ice cream maker was something serious! If you find a way to make it calorie free, please let me know...in the meantime I will continue to reserve ice cream for the days I run 😉
