📜 History of No-Churn Ice Cream

Ice cream dates back thousands of years, with early versions enjoyed in ancient China and Persia. Traditional ice cream required churning to prevent ice crystals.

The no-churn method became popular in modern home kitchens because it eliminates the need for special equipment. The combination of whipped cream and condensed milk mimics the smooth texture of churned ice cream.

🔬 Formation (How It Works)

  • Whipped cream traps air → makes it light and fluffy
  • Condensed milk adds sweetness and prevents ice crystals
  • Freezing locks the structure → giving that creamy texture

That’s why this recipe is so rich without needing an ice cream maker!
