What Is No Churn Ice Cream?
No Churn Ice Cream is homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker. It’s mixed with a stand mixer (or hand mixer). The base of the ice cream combines heavy whipping cream with sweetened condensed milk, making this a creamy and scoopable treat even when frozen. The sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and keeps ice crystals from forming over the top. Unlike traditional ice cream, there is no cooking involved or special equipment. This is a recipe the whole family will enjoy.
