Five Ingredient Ice Cream

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, cold milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This may take a few minutes, so be patient and watch carefully to avoid over-whipping. (Mixing time: ~5-7 minutes)

Recipe View Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; a gentle hand is key. At this point, you can fold in any desired mix-ins such as crushed cookies, nuts, or chocolate chips. (Folding time: ~5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the mixture into a shallow 2-quart dish or a loaf pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best texture. If you want an even creamier texture, stir the ice cream once after the first 2 hours of freezing. (Freezing time: ~4+ hours)

Recipe View Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 10 days.
