HOW TO MAKE HOME-MADE ICE CREAM WITHOUT A MACHINE

So, do you think its impossible to make home made ice cream without a machine? It’s super easy. First, you always need to prepare your ice cream base. That means that you whip heavy cream until it turns into light and fluffy whipped cream. Then, you fold into the sweetened condensed milk.

WHAT SHOULD I USE TO FREEZE NO CHURN ICE CREAM?

A metal loaf pan is perfect for freezing no churn ice cream. It freezes faster and keeps the ice cream really cold.

TOOLS NEEDED TO MAKE NO CHURN LEMON CURD ICE CREAM-

For no churn ice cream, you need a metal loaf pan, spatula, two mixing bowls, a cutting board if using toppings, and a hand mixer.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED-

• 1 Can 14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 2 Cups Heavy Cream
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
• 3/4 Cup Lemon Curd

INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO MAKE NO CHURN LEMON CURD ICE CREAM

1. In a large mixing bowl, take the heavy cream and whip to stiff peaks. Make sure the heavy cream is very cold.
2. In another mixing bowl, stir together the vanilla and sweetened condensed milk until thoroughly combined.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. I cannot stress this enough-gently fold in the whipped cream so as not to deflate it.
4. For this no churn recipe, there are going to be 4 layers of no churn ice cream and lemon curd.
5. Divide the no churn mixture into four and start assembling. Also, divide the 3/4 cup lemon curd into four. Coat the metal loaf pan with a bottom layer of no churn ice cream. Take some of the lemon curd and gently swirl with a toothpick, cake tester or knife so that you see swirls of the ice cream and the lemon curd. You do not want the ice cream to turn all yellow.
6. Keep repeating until you have used all the no churn ice cream mixture and lemon curd.
7. Place the no churn lemon curd ice cream mixture into a loaf pan.
8. Cover with a layer of saran wrap that sits right on top of the no churn ice cream. Then, add another layer of saran wrap. Cover tightly with foil.
9. Place in freezer to sit overnight for best results.
10. When ready to eat- leave out for about 5-10 minutes or set in fridge for 10-20 minutes.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR NO CHURN LEMON CURD ICE CREAM-

• Do not over beat the whipping cream.
• Make sure the heavy cream is cold before mixing.
• Make sure you cover the no churn ice cream with 2 layers of saran wrap. The first layer should be sitting directly on top of the no churn ice cream to prevent freezer burn.
• Cover very well with foil.
• A Metal loaf pan works best for this recipe. A metal loaf pan gets colder faster, which is important when making no churn ice cream. I do not recommend using plastic or a glass container.
• I cannot stress this enough. Get the right ingredients. Because the base of no churn ice cream only has three ingredients, it’s important you buy exactly what is listed. Do not try to substitute low fat or other alternatives as your no churn ice cream will not come out correctly.
• If you use extracts- for example mint or almond, be sure to only add a little at a time. Some extracts can be very potent.
• Be sure to chop up your mix-ins. Larger pieces become hard when frozen, so it’s definitely better to chop into bite size pieces.
• No Churn Ice Cream melts much faster than regular ice cream due to it not having a custard base.
