Super Easy Ice Cream


Basically this ice cream has 2 ingredients and I just happened to have those 2 ingredients. This recipe is super easy, hence the name, and is great for kids to make too. Plus, it gives anyone a chance to be creative in developing an ice cream flavour. Because it was my first time making ice cream this way, I do have a very good quality ice cream maker, I kept the flavour basic. However we did have fun at the dinner table discussing which flavours we want to create. I would say the texture is a semi soft creamy ice cream. Which melts in your mouth beautifully. 


To make this super easy ice cream you will need the following ingredients:

1 pint (473ml) whipping cream/heavy cream
1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon ground vanilla bean - optional
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips - optional




First, pour the whipping cream into a large bowl and using a hand held mixer blend until soft peaks form.



Once the soft peaks have been established add the condensed milk. Mix until thick and well combined.  



The ice cream mixture should look like this. Nice, thick, and creamy. 




Now it is time for the fun bit... creating an ice cream flavour. I added ground vanilla bean and mini chocolate chips. However the possibilities are endless so be creative and fun. Using a spatula stir until the ice cream mixture and flavours are combined. 



Pour the flavoured ice cream mixture into a freezer safe container cover with cling film and place the lid on. Freeze for about 6 hours.  



After 6 hours the ice cream should look like this. Solid and firm... and ready to eat. 




A perfectly delicious scoop every time!
