Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream, very cold
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium speed, gradually increasing to high, until stiff peaks form. Make sure not to overbeat to avoid graininess.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Using a spatula or mixer on low speed, gently blend until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Prepare for Freezing: Pour the creamy mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container, spreading evenly for uniform freezing.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and freeze until solid, which usually takes at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
- Freeze the mixing bowl prior to whipping the cream; a cold bowl helps the cream to whip better and form stiffer peaks.
- Avoid over-whipping the cream as it can become grainy and separate.
- For added flavors, fold in fresh fruits, jams, or citrus extracts before freezing.
- Fold in graham cracker crumbs for a frozen cheesecake texture and flavor.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container at the back of your freezer to prevent crystallization and enjoy within 2 weeks.
