Homemade Ice Cream with Only 3 Ingredients: A Sweet Treat for Any Occasion

Instructions

1. Whip the Cream:
   • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed.
2. Combine with Condensed Milk:
   • Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
3. Add Flavoring:
   • Stir in the vanilla extract or your chosen flavoring until evenly incorporated.
4. Freeze:
   • Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
   • Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
5. Serve:
   • Scoop and serve your homemade ice cream in bowls or cones. Add toppings like sprinkles, chocolate syrup, or fresh fruit if desired.

Flavor Variations

1. Chocolate Lovers: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the mixture or swirl in chocolate syrup before freezing.
2. Fruit Bliss: Fold in pureed fruit like strawberries, mangoes, or peaches.
3. Cookie Craze: Mix in crushed cookies, brownies, or candy pieces.
4. Nutty Delight: Add chopped nuts or a swirl of peanut butter.

Tips for Success

1. Cold Ingredients: Ensure the cream and condensed milk are cold for the best results.
2. Don’t Overmix: Gently fold to keep the mixture light and airy.
3. Creative Containers: Use loaf pans, mason jars, or silicone molds for fun shapes and portions.

Storage
