Mary Berry Condensed Milk Ice Cream – A Simple Birthday Treat
This easy and delicious Condensed Milk Ice Cream recipe, inspired by Mary Berry’s no-churn method, is perfect for a birthday treat or any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a rich and creamy ice cream at home. No ice cream machine required—just whip, mix, and freeze!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz/400g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Your favorite toppings or mix-ins (e.g., crushed cookies, sprinkles, chocolate chips, fruit, etc.)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This step is crucial for creating a creamy and airy texture in your ice cream. The whipped cream helps give the ice cream its lightness and richness.
- Mix in Condensed Milk: Once the cream has been whipped, gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much. Mix gently until everything is well combined. The condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess, making the base of your ice cream rich and indulgent.
- Add Mix-ins (Optional): At this point, you can stir in your favorite mix-ins to give the ice cream a fun twist. Consider adding crushed cookies, chocolate chips, sprinkles for a birthday theme, or even fresh fruit like berries for a refreshing touch.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, then cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze the mixture for at least 4 hours, or until it’s firm and fully set. This no-churn ice cream is easy to make in advance, so feel free to prepare it a day ahead of time!
