Use Condensed Milk for Simple, Home-Made Ice Cream Without the Need for a Machine
Making homemade ice cream is easy. We even showed you how to do it without a car . This method from America’s Test Kitchen is even simpler: it produces a super-smooth chocolate ice cream that lies and keeps in the freezer just like anything you can buy in the store.
The video here shows you how to do everything, step by step. You’ll need a few ingredients like heavy cream, instant coffee, and chocolate, but the killer is sweetened condensed milk that keeps everything velvety smooth. The only machine you’ll need to do this is a microwave and a mixer, although the mixer itself is controversial – you can get the soft peaks you need from the heavy cream by hand (it just takes a while and a little grease.)
The whole process will take you about 15 minutes, but you need to leave the ice cream in the freezer until it is firm (or to the desired firmness). Once set up, you will have a smooth ice cream. , chocolatey, and unlike other no-cooked or instant ice cream recipes, it actually matches, tastes and melts like regular ice cream, not “ice cream that’s missing something.” When you’re ready to add a little flavor besides chocolate, try this reliable ice cream recipe we posted on Skillet – it’s similar but adds a great berry flavor to the mix.
