Get scooping: Cool down with homemade no-churn ice cream

Who doesn’t love a scoop of creamy, delicious ice cream? While store-bought options are convenient, there’s something truly special about homemade ice cream. It’s not just about the taste; it’s about the experience of crafting a dessert from scratch. And the best part? You don’t need an ice cream maker to enjoy it.

The basics

The science behind no-churn ice cream is simple: heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk are combined and frozen. The fat in the heavy cream creates a rich and creamy texture, while the sugar in the sweetened condensed milk lowers the freezing point, preventing the mixture from becoming icy.

Tips and tricks for perfect no-churn ice cream

• Temperature control: Ensure all ingredients are chilled before combining. A cold mixture freezes faster and more evenly.
• Churning time: While no-churn ice cream doesn’t require traditional churning, it’s essential to give it enough time to freeze. For best results, freeze for at least 6 hours.
• Flavour combinations: The world is your oyster! Experiment with different fruits, extracts, and chocolates to create unique flavours.
