I LOVE ice cream! Especially as the weather is warming up, it’s a nice cold treat to cool down with.
Ice cream seems intimidating to make, especially the ones with eggs in it. However, I have found an easy 2 ingredient ice cream based that you can add flavors and mix-ins to and create any ice cream concoction you wish! I may have as much fun with creating new ice cream combinations this summer as I do with my challahs!
What you will need:
Ice cream base
2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
Optional: 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
Chocolate S’mores Ice cream
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
¼ cup caramel or chocolate chips
½ cup mini marshmallows
Lime Ice Cream with Mixed Berry Swirl
Zest and juice from 1 lime
½ cup homemade {or store bought} mixed berry preserves
Directions:
Whip the cream {and vanilla bean paste} with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended.
For chocolate ice cream– Whisk together the condensed milk, cocoa powder, and salt in a large bowl. The mixture will become very thick. Then fold in the whipped cream mixture.
For lime ice cream– whisk together the condensed milk, lime zest, and juice. Then fold in the whipped cream mixture.
For add ins–
Chocolate s’mores– pour half of the ice cream mixture into your container, and sprinkle with about half of the mix-ins on top and swirl with a knife. Repeat with the remaining half of the ice cream and mix-ins.
Mixed berry swirl– pour half of the ice cream mixture into your container, dollop about half of the preserves on top and swirl with a knife. Repeat with the remaining half of the ice cream and mix-ins.
Pour into a container, or a 9x5x3 loaf pan and freeze until set, about 4-5 hours.
