No special equipment is needed to make this ultra-creamy ice cream. Eat it plain or add some of the fun suggested stir-ins.
Special equipment: a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, chilled
Ingredients
Ice Cream:
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Pinch fine salt
2 cups heavy cream, ice cold
Mix-In Options:
Cookies and Cream: 12 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
Crunchy Cereal: 1 1/2 cups cinnamon crunch cereal, crushed
Cookies and Lemon: 1/2 cup jarred lemon curd and 1 cup shortbread cookies, crushed
Cherries Jubilee: ½ cup canned cherries in syrup
Directions
For the ice cream: Whisk together the condensed milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended.
Pour into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy, like soft-serve, about 2 hours.
Swirl in any desired mix-ins with a spoon. Continue to freeze, covered, until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours more.
