No-Churn Ice Cream

Heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks, with sweetened condensed milk (or yolks, then whipped whites) and flavorings folded in, and frozen in a pan without stirring and without a machine.

⏱ 6 hr

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Whip the cold cream until firm and holding its shape.
    ⚙ WhippingBowlHand mixerorStand mixerorWhisk
    💡Whip cream very cold, in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, and stop when it holds firm: overwhipping turns it grainy and buttery.
  2. 2
    Fold the condensed milk into the whipped cream gently, so the whipped cream doesn't deflate.
    ⚙ FoldingSilicone spatula
    💡Sweetened condensed milk is thick: its sugar keeps the ice cream soft and scoopable even without stirring in the freezer.
    💡Fold, don't stir: the air in the whipped cream is what replaces the ice cream machine.
    💡Fold with a spatula, in broad strokes from the bottom up, and stop when there are no streaks: vigorous mixing knocks the air out of the foam. Add whipped mixtures in stages: a quarter first, to lighten the mixture.
  3. 3
    Transfer to loaf pan, cover and freeze at least 6 hours, without stirring.
