Ingredients in Homemade No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
Sweetened Condensed Milk – Using this thickened, sweetened milk is a shortcut that replaces the traditional custard used in churned ice cream recipes.
Vanilla Extract or Vanilla Bean Paste – Both are equally delicious, but I like the little flecks of vanilla that you see if you use the paste.
Salt – A bit of salt balances out the sweetness in this recipe.
Heavy Whipping Cream – We’ll be whipping this up to add airiness to the ice cream.
How to make No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream from scratch
- Start by lining a loaf pan with parchment paper and putting in it the freezer. Combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until still peaks form, similar to making whipped cream.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture.
- Pour into the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap and freeze at least six hours or overnight before serving.

Tips for making this No Churn Vanilla ice cream recipe
Use quality ingredients – When making homemade ice cream, you’ll want to make sure you are using high quality ingredients for the best outcome.
Chill out – If possible, always start with chilled ingredients. This is important for homemade no-churn ice cream recipes and ice cream maker recipes.
Don’t skimp on the fat – High fat milks and creams are essential when making homemade ice cream. Opting for a low-fat option often leads to icy ice creams and inconsistency in the texture.
Don’t go crazy with the add-ins – If you’re adding in additional ingredients, pick one or two and make sure they are chopped into pieces no larger than a blueberry or pea.
Don’t skimp on the sugar – Sugar not only adds sweetness to homemade ice creams, it also helps with the texture. Sugar is essential for the creamy texture in ice cream.
