Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture.
🔬 METHODS & FORMATION
This no-churn ice cream method relies on two things:
- Whipped cream for the creamy, airy texture
- Sweetened condensed milk for sweetness and structure
Together, they mimic the effect of churned ice cream without needing a machine. This method became popular in the 20th century, especially during times when ice cream makers weren’t common in households.
📜 A SCOOP OF HISTORY
The origins of ice cream go back centuries—first made by ancient Persians with snow and grape juice, then evolving through Chinese frozen milk desserts, and eventually reaching Europe.
But no-churn ice cream is a modern miracle—bringing the joy of frozen desserts to every kitchen, no matter your tools.
