What is "No-Churn" Ice Cream?
No-churn ice cream is ice cream that is made without the need for an ice cream maker. It comes together with a standing or handheld mixer, a spatula, a loaf pan, and a freezer. It's just that easy!
How does it work?
When ice cream is made in an ice cream maker, the air is whipped into the cream mixture as it churns. Aeration lightens the mixture as it freezes in the machine. Similarly, in the case of no-churn ice cream, the air is introduced into the heavy whipping cream as it is whipped. This lightens the cream which is then folded into the sweetened condensed milk.
Sweetened condensed milk is milk that has had the water removed and sugar added to it. Because of its concentration and lack of water, the sweetened condensed milk freezes well when mixed with the aerated cream. Thus, giving us ice cream.
Ingredients
This ice cream recipe is incredibly simple in preparation and process. It uses only four ingredients and comes together in about fifteen minutes. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for the ice cream to set in the freezer!
- Heavy Whipping Cream - The cream has to be cold for whipping. For the best-whipped cream, place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator to chill as well.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk - One full can of sweetened condensed milk.
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- Chocolate Sandwich Cookies - The cookies need to be crushed. This can be done in a ziplock bag and crushed by hand, or in the food processor.
Equipment You Will Need
- Kitchen Aid Standing Mixer - A standing mixer is 100-percent worth the investment, especially if you are a baker.
- Black and Decker Handheld Mixer - I have had this one for years and I love it! It comes with a storage case and multiple attachments.
- Rubber Spatula - You will need a rubber spatula to fold in the cookie pieces.
- Cusinart Food Processor - The cookie crumbs can be smashed in a zip-top bag by hand, however, a food processor makes this process much easier.
- 9-by-5-by-3-Inch Loaf Pan - No-churn ice cream is placed into a loaf pan for freezing. This recipe fills in one loaf pan.
