Yep, you’re just two ingredients from the perfect, easiest ice cream you will make all summer long. All it takes is one small container of heavy cream and a can of condensed milk. You don’t need an ice cream machine – just a stand mixer, or a hand mixer, or a strong arm with a whisk. It takes about 10 minutes of mixing and a few hours to freeze into lovely, velvety ice cream.
While you can branch off and make any flavors your heart desires from this basic ratio, the flavor in this recipe is Blackberry & Crème Fraîche. It tastes a lot like cheesecake.
Ingredients:
One pint heavy cream
One 14 ounce can of condensed milk
1 pint of blackberries, fresh, or another berry
4 heaping tablespoons crème fraîche
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon vanilla bean powder (or 2 teaspoons good quality vanilla extract)
Zest of ½ a lemon
Method:
Smash berries with back of spoon in a bowl; set aside.
Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Not so far that it separates!
Pour the can of condensed milk into the bowl with the cream. Also add the smashed berries, salt, crème fraîche, vanilla bean powder (or extract), and lemon zest. Fold all ingredients together with a spatula.
Pour the ice cream mixture into a metal loaf pan, pie plate, or similar dish. Anything will do as long as it can go into the freezer. Freeze for 5 hours, or overnight. Share with everyone that you love.
