Recipe: Easy no-churn vanilla ice cream

Hubby asked if I would like to make him some vanilla ice cream to use in his affogato. Since we do not have an ice cream maker at home, I quickly googled "no-churn vanilla ice cream" and the first recipe that appeared was from the BBC Good Food website.

Only 3 ingredients are required - condensed milk, whipping cream and vanilla extract. According to the website, condensed milk is a magic ingredient when making no-churn ice cream - the end result will be creamy, smooth and not at all icy. After reading the comments, it seems that people have mixed feelings about this ice cream - some love it and others don't. Since it was so easy to make and I had all the ingredients to hand, I decided to give it a try. All ingredients are placed in a large bowl and beaten with an electric whisk until it resembles clotted cream, then put in the freezer to freeze until solid. It will take about 6 hours to harden.

Remove it from the freezer 5-10 minutes before scooping. It has a nice, smooth and creamy texture, as promised. It is quite rich so we try not to have too much in one sitting. Not bad for a no-churn recipe which you can make in under 5 minutes.

Our kids loved it with some chocolate flakes/chips and salted caramel sauce. Also great with fresh tart fruits such as strawberries and blueberries.
