Servings : Makes 2 litres
Did you know that making ice-cream can be as easy as 1,2, 3?
Well this is a version of making ice-cream that will literally blow your mind! All it takes is 2 ingredients plus flavorings of your choice and you end up with the most delicious, creamiest, tastiest ice-cream! Almost like the ready-made version! Maybe even slightly better because with this recipe you get to make LITERALLY whichever flavor your heart desires.
I’ve made vanilla-cake ice-cream and cookie-crumb chocolate ice-cream, pictured above.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (390 ml)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup flavourings of choice (fruits, crumbled cake, cookies, mint chips etc) (optional)
Instructions
There are two versions of ice-creams, the custard based ones….which are lengthy and involve the cooking of egg yolks to form a custard, using an ice-cream machine or freezing and re-freezing the ice-cream every few hours…etc etc….and then there is this method, which is a quick-fix version.
Step 1: Whip 2 cups of whipping cream with a quarter tsp. of salt and 2 tsp. vanilla essence until stiff peaks form.
Step 2: Mix 1 can of good quality condensed sweet milk (about 390 ml) with any flavourings that you want, then fold this into the cream. (Ideas of flavouring given below)
Step 3: Freeze for minimum 6-8 hours and then serve!
For my vanilla cake ice-cream, I had some leftover vanilla cake, crumbed it up (about 1 cup) and mixed that with the sweet condensed milk, then folded it in the whipped cream.
For the cookie-crumb ice-cream, I crumbed up some chocolate chip cookies (also about 1 cup), added that to the sweet condensed milk, added 2 tsp. cocoa powder, drizzled some chocolate syrup, mixed these together then folded into the cream.
So basically, you add everything you want into the condensed sweet milk, mix it well, then add into the whipped cream and fold until combined. Here are some more ideas of what you flavours you can add, remember, you don’t have to stick with just one…you can make a combination of stuff like nuts and chocolate, mint and chocolate etc:
– Coconut
– You can add some melted butter for a creamier finish. (1-2 tbsp.)
– Pieces of chocolate like chocolate chips, mars, bounty, snickers, M&M’s, chopped maltesers, kit Kat…etc
– Nuts of your choice
– Peppermint
– Food Colouring that you want
– Fruits (you can puree them and add to make mango ice-cream, peach ice-cream, banana ice-cream, strawberry ice-cream…etc)
– Cake or Cookies or Cheesecake
– Different essences or flavours like cinnamon, lemon, strawberry, coffee etc
– Caramel, dulce de leche, toffee, chocolate sauce, peanut butter, etc
With this ice-cream, the sky is the limit. You can mix just about anything that you like!! I whipped the cream, divided it into two lots then flavoured each one differently so I could have 2 ice-cream flavours from the same amount. Got a litre of ice-cream of each yummy flavour.
Try the recipe and tell me what amazing flavours you tried!!
Hi, I tried this ice-cream. I added 1 mango puree in it, but its taste was not at all like mango ice-cream. 🙁 Its texture was very good but I could only taste vanilla essence not the mango. Is there any special way to prepare mango puree OR we just have to puree mango by pressing it and add it in the sweet condensed milk. My mom scolded me for ruining everything 🙁 Can you please help me?
Hi! Next time use this recipe for preparing the mango puree before adding it to the ice-cream. Mango Puree
Thank you 🙂 will definitely try. I hope it would turn out good this time.

Yes it needs to be sweetened.
salaams…does the condensed milk hve to be cold? And does it hve to be beaten first before adding flavours to it?
W/Salaam, no it doesn’t need to be cold or beaten first.
a.alkm fauzia..op ua doin wel insha Allah.i was wondering when u say two cups of whippin cream shud we stil stick to ua measurments?n when i add cake or cookies to d condnsed milk,if it becomes soggy is it ok?plus wen i choose to divide into two so i cud av two flavours shud i divide d milk also?sorry for troubling u.im planning to make dis for eid insha Allah…thank u in advance,ur d best!
W/Salaam,not sure what you mean, best to follow the recipe exactly for perfect results. And yes if you divide in two then divide the condensed milk as well. Also, instead of adding the crumbs and cake into the milk, add it separately and then mix it all up.

vanilla essence has a alcohol in it,is there subsitute for vanilla?
Actually there are MANY vanilla versions which are alcohol-free. 🙂 You just have to find them from any halal outlets or order them online. Otherwise use any other essence of your preference for different flavours.
Not necessarily. The ones we
Not necessarily. The ones we get here in the MiddleEast do not contain alcohol, but have monopropylene glycol as the solvent. Simply read the label for ingredients and avoid the ones that have ‘ethyl alcohol’ or ‘ethanol’ in it.
Looks yummy… Will try this soon!!

I used Nestle Condensed milk (sweetened). Is there any way I can reduce the sweetness, should I reduce the amount of condensed milk or increase salt? Is it possible?
Thanks
W/Salaam, thanks for the
W/Salaam, thanks for the lovely feedback! Yes you can use three-quarter of a can of the condensed milk to make it less sweet. I also noticed when I add crushed cookies that are not too sweet, like digestives, it makes it less sweet and adds extra texture.
Thanks Fauzia. I had one more
Thanks Fauzia. I had one more question.. I added chocolate pieces in the ice cream. When i took it out after the required time, all the chocolate pieces sank to the bottom. Tastes great but is there any way, they can spread throughout the ice cream?
Maybe give the icecream a
Maybe give the icecream a stir before it full sets. Also make sure the pieces are chopped very very finely or grate them if possible so they stay light.
Will do that next time.

Hello, I want to add cardamom
Hello, I want to add cardamom and saffron, how much of it do you recommend?
Hi, both are strong flavours
Hi, both are strong flavours so not more than half a teaspoon of cardamom powder and a couple of pinches of crushed saffron. Then give it a taste and decide if you want it stronger.
