Only Two Steps to Homemade Ice Cream!!

Did you know you can make ice cream at home?
I was surprised at how easy it is, and it was really fun to be able to make any kind I want.


I used the ice cream attachment for my Kitchenaid, but you can also do it in a regular mixer.


1 pint heavy cream
14oz can sweetened condensed milk

Step 1: Pour both into the ice cream maker and blend according to mixer directions.

Or use a regular mixer, and beat on high until stiff peaks form. 

This will make soft-serve ice cream.

Step 2: For hard ice cream, spoon into plastic container and freeze at least 4 hours.

Thats it, just those two steps to make sweet cream ice cream. 

For flavored ice creams: during the mixing stage, add 2 teaspoons vanilla or other extracts, or 2 tablespoons chocolate, coffee, maple, or other syrups.

Gently fold in fruit or nuts or chocolate chips or other goodies just after mixing. 

I used apple pieces and cinnamon in the batch pictured.


It is really yummy, and doesn't have all the chemical additives of store-bought brands.

I tried several other recipes that had more ingredients, but none of them made a better texture than this one, and the ones that use milk come out kinda crunchy with ice crystals.
