Homemade ice cream is the BEST – and when it's No Churn Ice Cream it's even better. I've been making this easy homemade Ice Cream for YEARS and it always turns out perfect – and delicious.

Skip the machine and make this 3 ingredient ice cream yourself – plus learn how to make ANY flavor you want.

Ice cream is one of those things that I absolutely love, especially in summer. My daughter and husband are huge ice cream lovers so we always have some in the freezer.

I have an ice cream machine but I really don't like using it because I always forget to freeze the insert. That thing has to freeze for 12 hours before I can make ice cream and by then I've gone to the store and boughten some. PLUS – in summer when it's hot my ice cream never churns properly.

That's why, once I discovered easy ice cream I never went back to making it with a machine. No churn ice cream is the BEST and it's easy to make any flavor you want. Today I'm going to teach you how to make the basic ice cream, plus how to make tons of different flavors all with just a few extra ingredients.

3 easy ingredients

There are just three easy ingredients to make your own homemade ice cream:

• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Vanilla Extract

These ingredients are important, and except for the vanilla, cannot be substituted.

Heavy whipping cream is important because the first thing you do to make this ice cream is make whipped cream.

Sweetened condensed milk is sold in a can in the baking aisle. Sweetened condensed milk is milk that's been cooked down with sugar so it's thick and sweet. Don't confuse it with evaporated milk; they're two different things.

You can substitute fat-free sweetened condensed milk in this recipe and it will work just fine.

How to make easy ice cream

The magic of the ice cream is in how you put together the ingredients.

Make the Whipped Cream by beating the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

TIP: start with a cold bowl and cold beaters so it'll beat up faster. See how I make my perfect whipped cream, with tips and tricks for troubleshooting.

Then just fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Don't use your mixer – you don't want to break the whipped cream.

Freeze your ice cream in an airtight container. You can also put it in a loaf pan and cover well with plastic wrap. Freeze until set, at least 3-4 hours.

It's so easy to make this homemade ice cream with condensed milk – and it's delicious too. Now – time to make different flavors!

How to make different flavors

It's so easy just by changing up a few things or adding some others. You can make your favorite ice cream easily!

Chocolate, Peanut Butter and other flavors

You can turn your vanilla ice cream into other flavors easily:

• Chocolate Ice Cream: melt 3 ounces of baking chocolate and let it cool, then stir it into the sweetened condensed milk before adding to the whipped cream. Chocolate Caramel Ice Cream
• Peanut Butter Ice Cream: add 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter to the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth, then add to the whipped cream. Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream
• Cheesecake Ice Cream: mix 8 ounces softened cream cheese into the sweetened condensed milk, then add to the whipped cream. Peanut Butter Cheesecake Ice Cream
• Flavor Ice Cream with Pudding Mix: add 4 tablespoons instant pudding mix to the sweetened condensed milk, then add to the whipped cream. Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream

Flavoring with extract

You can add ANY flavor extract in place of the vanilla. Most of the time you can substitute 1 teaspoon except in the case of almond extract and peppermint (use 1/2 teaspoon).

Mix-Ins

Add up to 2 cups of any mix ins to the ice cream to make new flavors.

• Chopped Oreos or other cookies
• Sprinkles
• M&Ms or other candies
• Chopped peanut butter cups, Kit Kats, Snickers, etc.
• Chocolate Chips or any other chips
• Toffee Bits
• Chopped brownies
• ANYTHING!

Make low-fat ice cream

I also make this ice cream low-fat often. To make the ice cream low-fat you just need to make a few substitutions:

• Use fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• Instead of using heavy whipping cream, use 2 (8-ounce) containers of low-fat or fat-free Cool Whip (thawed). The ice cream will be a little creamier with a slightly different texture but still taste great.

No matter how you make this ice cream you will love it – especially because you don't need a machine to make it in!
