The first account of ice cream in America dates back to 1744. It was so expensive and rare, only the wealthy could afford it.
Now, it's one of the most popular desserts. In the U.S., over 1.3 billion gallons are produced every year.
It has become one of the most popular desserts for good reason. It’s cool, creamy and endlessly customizable.
The best part? You don’t need a fancy machine or a long list of ingredients to make it at home.
This easy recipe delivers rich, scoopable ice cream with minimal effort. Grab a bowl, mix it up and get ready to scoop your way to homemade happiness.
2 cups heavy whipping cream 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 1 tsp vanilla extract (or any preferred flavor)
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until fully combined. Avoid overmixing!
Pour mixture into freezer-safe container, smooth the top and cover. Freeze for at least six hours, or until firm.
That’s it, homemade ice cream with almost no effort! Want to dress it up a bit? Try a drizzle of honey, a swirl of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a fun twist.
