Method
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, pour in the heavy cream.
- Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula.
- Gently fold in your desired mix-ins, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream, then cover with a lid.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best consistency.
- Before scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop and serve. Garnish with extra mix-ins or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Notes
To prevent icy ice cream, ensure your freezer is set to the correct temperature (around 0°F or -18°C) and the ice cream is tightly covered. Adding a tablespoon of vodka or rum extract can also help. For vegan options, substitute sweetened condensed milk with a vegan version and use full-fat coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Try different flavor combinations like Chocolate Peanut Butter, Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, or Coffee Crunch.
