Very few people actually own an ice cream maker, so on average, ice cream is something people tend to buy from a supermarket, or order at a restaurant or ice cream parlour<\/a>. It’s one of those treats that really feels like a special occasion because it’s not something you can enjoy everyday.<\/p>\n

\"\"But what if you could, on the odd occasion, make your own ice cream at home? The ingredients are pretty simple \u2013 chances are you probably have them in your fridge and pantry right now \u2013 and it’s such a crowd-pleasing dessert for a party or gathering. Yes, it might not be the same as your favourite ice cream shop, but you\u2019ll be able to experiment with some creative flavour combinations \u2013 and with our foolproof no-churn ice cream method, you\u2019ll definitely get that silky smooth and creamy consistency we all know and love.<\/p>\n

But what does churning actually do?<\/h3>\n

Before we discuss our no-churn method, it’s important to understand why ice cream is churned in the first place, so that we can find ways of mimicking the process without a machine. Churning ice cream prevents large ice crystals from forming, which helps produce the smooth and luscious texture that we\u2019re used to. Ice cream makers churn using a paddle and an electric motor that churns the ice cream at a set speed. The ice cream maker rhythmically breaks up the ice crystals and creates an emulsion.<\/p>\n

To mimic the functionality of an ice cream machine, we need to incorporate as much air into the mixture before the freezing process, so that large ice crystals don\u2019t form while the ice cream is freezing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are a few ways to do this, but our favourite is the ‘two-ingredient method’.<\/p>\n

Foolproof No-churn Ice Cream Method<\/h3>\n

For the two-ingredient <\/b>method, all you need is heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and a good stand mixer or whisk. You can add any other flavourings you like, but these two ingredients are your base.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into the condensed milk, and then add the rest of the cream and fold lightly until everything is combined \u2013 this is your ice cream base. If you want to add flavourings like vanilla extract and lemon zest, for example, then you\u2019d add these to your condensed milk and mix well before adding your cream.<\/p>\n

To freeze, pour your condensed milk and whipped cream mixture into a loaf tin, and cover with cling wrap or baking paper. Make sure there is no air between the mixture and the cover, so press down lightly. Freeze overnight and serve.<\/p>\n
