Hello ice-cream lovers ! This recipe is found everywhere, both the internetz (see foodnetwork.com) and mom's recipe box (somewhere in the upper cupboards) so I decided to try it out. It's a no-churn version. I have an ice cream maker but I'm too lazy to reach up in the cupboards for it. Summertime laziness.
So here's the (well, basically) 2-ingredient recipe, you must try it with your favorite flavors. Look around like I did, most ingredients are at hand's reach (fruits, candies, cookies, cereal...)
2 cups heavy cream, cold
14-ounce can (396 g) of sweetened condensed milk
Pinch of fine salt
2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Beat cream in a bowl until thickened and stiff, about 3-4 minutes. Fold in condensed milk. Add vanilla and salt. Pour into 3 containers (about 3/4 of the way) for 3 flavors. Freeze for about 1 hour then add flavors. I layer the flavors on top or just slightly press in, so they are still crunchy or chewy. Freeze at least 5 hours or overnight.
Here are ideas for add-in flavors :
Cookies and Cream :12 sandwich cookies, chopped
Peaches and Cream : 3 peaches, peeled, cored and chopped, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, simmer for about 20 minutes in low heat or slightly bubbling, allow to cool.
Cherry Pavlova : 4-5 chopped meringue (or macarons), 1/2 cup cherry preserves
Happy summer and enjoy, everyone !
