Quick and Easy Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

When you're in a pinch and the kids are pressing you for ice cream and you don't want to run out to the store, this might just work for you. It's tamed the beast on more than one occasion!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of heavy whipping cream
  • 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Select a mixing bowl that's large enough for the amount you're making.
  2. Blend the first two ingredients with an electric mixer until it is smooth and thick. Start out on a lower speed and work up to a medium speed.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix together.
  4. Add whatever else you desire to make it your own. If you want to make a Cookies & Cream type of ice cream; get some Oreo cookies and smash them in pieces then fold those into the mix. Just make sure you have more ice cream mix than the cookies you're adding.
  5. Put in the freezer for about an hour and enjoy.

Variations

Different flavor extracts can be used in place of the vanilla.
