Viral TikTok Viral 3-Ingredient Ice Cream Recipe
This viral TikTok ice cream is a no-churn dream: just three ingredients and a few minutes of prep for a rich, velvety homemade treat. It’s a perfect DIY dessert for warm days, parties, or satisfying late-night cravings without any special equipment.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Small mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or whisk
- Rubber spatula
- 9×5-inch loaf pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Start by beating the cold heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form—this will take a few minutes. For best results, chill both the bowl and beaters before whipping.
- Mix the Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: In a separate bowl, stir the vanilla into the sweetened condensed milk until completely blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the sweetened condensed milk mixture to the whipped cream in small batches, folding it in gently to maintain the fluffy texture.
- Freeze the Ice Cream: Transfer the smooth mixture into a loaf pan. Level the top, cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil, and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until it firms up.
- Storage Instructions: Keep in an airtight container in the freezer. Best consumed within a week to maintain optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
Substitution Ideas:
- Swap in coconut milk for a dairy-free version (expect a slightly different texture).
- Use almond extract instead of vanilla for a nuttier profile.
- Go sugar-conscious with a sugar-free condensed milk alternative.
- Be gentle when folding in the milk to keep your base light and airy.
- Always chill your equipment to help the cream whip properly.
- Cover tightly before freezing to avoid icy textures.
