Here’s a simple and reliable homemade ice cream recipe you can make without a machine:
🍦 Basic Homemade Ice Cream (No Machine)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Whip the cream
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks (it should look fluffy and hold its shape). - Mix the base
In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. - Fold together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Don’t overmix—you want to keep it airy. - Freeze
Pour the mixture into a container, cover, and freeze for at least 6–8 hours (or overnight). - Serve
Scoop and enjoy!
🍫 Flavor Ideas
You can customize it easily:
- Chocolate: add cocoa powder or melted chocolate
- Mango: blend in fresh mango pulp
- Cookies & cream: fold in crushed biscuits
- Coffee: mix in 1–2 tsp instant coffee
If you want, I can show you a version with fewer ingredients, without cream, or even a Pakistani-style kulfi version.
