Quick & creamy ice-cream recipe (No machine needed!)
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh cream (chilled)
1 cup condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, fruit puree, or cookie crumbs for mix-ins
Method:
Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled fresh cream using a hand mixer or whisk until it forms soft peaks.
Add condensed milk: Gently fold in the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Be careful not to overmix; you want it light and airy.
Customise your flavour: At this point, you can add any mix-ins you like, crushed Oreos, mango pulp, berries, or a swirl of chocolate sauce.
Freeze it: Pour the mixture into an airtight container, smooth out the top, and freeze for at least 6–8 hours or overnight.
Scoop & serve: Once set, scoop out your homemade ice cream and enjoy it with your favourite toppings.
This easy recipe is perfect for anyone craving a cool treat without the effort of traditional ice cream making. Try different flavours each time, and turn your kitchen into your little ice cream parlour this summer.
