I could eat ice cream every day - that's how much I love it. I realized though, it's best to have it as a special treat - about once a month. I've thought from time to time about buying an ice cream machine, but then I probably would be eating it every day! LOL. This vanilla ice cream recipe doesn't require churning by hand or an ice cream machine. It does require an electric mixer though! My "dream," mixer is made by KitchenAid and is close to $700!! I do just fine and dandy with my hand mixer that was less than ten bucks from Bed, Bath and Beyond. Anyways, this ice cream is very rich, but oh my gosh is it DECADENT! I waited a few days after I made a batch before I went into the freezer to get myself a small bowl. About half the ice cream was already gone, so I was trying to figure out who the "culprit," was. One night that week I discovered it was my hubby. He had been going into the freezer, lifting off the top of the "Mason," jar and getting himself a spoonful at a time. I didn't know that, until I caught him, "red handed!"
Ingredients:
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sprinkles (if desired)
Directions:
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a small bowl and add the two
teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix well with large spoon and set aside.
In a large bowl, put the pint of heavy whipping cream. With an electric
mixer, beat the whipping cream on high speed for about three minutes or
until soft peaks form. Gently "fold" into the ingredients in the smaller
bowl with a large spoon. Add the sprinkles at this point if you wish
and mix well with large spoon. When well combined, pour into a loaf pan
(8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches) that is lined with parchment paper and
then covered with plastic wrap (so ice crystals don't form) or use glass
"Mason" jars. Put in freezer for a minimum of eight hours. Enjoy!
