Best Ever No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
This Best Ever No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream is the BEST vanilla ice cream to make at home, no ice cream maker required! It's perfectly creamy, smooth and made with only 3 ingredients!
Recipe: Equipment
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- container or loaf pan
Recipe: Ingredients
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream or 500 ml
- 2 vanilla beans or 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Recipe: Instructions
- Whip the heavy whipping cream cold from the fridge until soft peaks form and the mixture thickly coats the back of a spoon.
- Cut open the vanilla beans, scraping out the seeds and adding them to the bowl with the whipping cream.
- Turn the mixer on high speed and continue to whip, adding the sweetened condensed milk in a steady stream until it's fully incorporated and the mixture almost reaches the hard-peak stage.
- Be careful NOT to over-whip, as this will cause the fat and the water in the cream to separate. If this happens, the ice cream will NOT freeze properly and won't have the creamy, smooth texture you desire.
- Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper (or use a resealable plastic freezer-safe container, if you prefer) and scrape the cream mixture into the pan or container.
- Cover with plastic wrap (or a lid) and freeze for about 6-8 hours, or until the ice cream has become solid enough to scoop.
- Serve in cones, on top of cakes, pies, or brownies, with fruit, or however you desire!
Recipe: Notes
This ice cream keeps for up to 2 weeks in the freezer, although it will get very hard if left in the freezer for multiple days. To make scooping easier if the ice cream is left in the freezer for a long time, simply leave the ice cream at room temperature for 20 or so minutes before scooping, and scoop with a spoon dipped in hot water.
This ice cream freezes best in a normal refrigerator-freezer, and will become too hard if stored in a deep-freeze freezer.

Glad you liked it! 🙂
Glad to hear that! Thank you!!
Love homemade ice cream and this is no exception! Refreshing and sweet; perfect for summer!
I know, right!? What’s not to love!? Glad you like this recipe!
?… Think this would work with an ice cream maker? I prefer to use my machine, set it and forget it until it’s done, and no waiting once it is done.
Can you be more specific about serving size?
One serving is 0.5 cups.
Will this ice cream get those frozen ice crystals, or does it have a smooth creamy texture?
It has a smooth creamy texture as long as you take it out of the freezer to serve as the recipe directs. If you are storing it in a freezer long term, make sure you are storing it in an airtight container and you let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before you serve it.
Looking forward to making this… Having never made homemade ice cream before, when in the process would I add other ingredients (For instance, I’d like to make chocolate coconut, because I’ve left over sweetened coconut flakes,(From my first try at Hello Dolly Bars… OMG-I substituted butterscotch chips w health candy toffee chips-Incredible!)… And w the sweetened condensed milk, I guess I’d use cocoa powder?
Thanks!👍🏻
