    Ingredient Notes

    four ingredients needed to make vanilla ice cream
    1. Whipping Cream - Also known as heavy whipping cream is the base of this homemade ice cream recipe. It helps to make the ice cream thick without the need for an ice cream machine.
    2. Sweetened Condensed Milk - Be sure to use sweetened as it will provide most of the sweetness for the ice cream as well as help to make it rich and creamy.
    3. Vanilla Extract - Make sure that you use pure vanilla extract and not imitation to add flavor to the ice cream.
    4. Vanilla Bean - To add extra vanilla flavor, add the seeds of a single vanilla bean pod.

    See the recipe card below for exact ingredient quantities.

    Instructions

    Begin the recipe by using a medium-size mixing bowl on a stand mixer. Add in the whipping cream and use a mixer on medium speed to begin whipping until stiff peaks form.

    Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and continue mixing at low speed until the mixture begins to thicken. Add in the vanilla extract and vanilla bean and continue mixing until combined.

    Place the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for at least 6 hours.

    Equipment

    The best way to make this homemade ice cream is with a stand mixer, a hand mixer with a mixing bowl, or a large bowl with a sturdy whisk. This is mainly to make sure the whipping cream is mixed enough to form stiff peaks. I prefer to use a stand mixer to make this an easy hand-free recipe. The mixer that I use and love is a KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

    Recipe Tips

    • Make sure that you are using the correct ingredients. The ingredient list is short, so you certainly want to make sure that you select the right items.
    • Be sure to whip/mix the whipping cream until stiff peaks form, this will help the ice cream to set.
    • If you cannot locate vanilla bean or prefer not to use it, then you may omit it.
    • Keep in mind this is a homemade ice cream recipe and it will probably melt quicker than machine-made ice cream, so plan to serve shortly after removing it from the freezer.

    Storage

    Store the vanilla ice cream in an airtight freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 5 days. Remove the container from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes before scooping to serve!
