No Churn Ice Cream
It was my birthday and I wanted ice cream! My son Jake and I decided since we couldn’t get to the store we would make our own. I’ve made Ice cream in a bag before (that recipe follows) but, to do so you need rock salt. I don’t know about you but I don’t have rock salt as a staple in my pantry. So, using only four ingredients, a mixer, and determination we have this fun Mint Chip ice cream recipe. The bonus is, you won’t need an ice cream machine!
What you’ll need:
-
Mixer with a whisk attachment
-
2 cups whipping cream
-
1 ½ teaspoon Peppermint extract
-
1- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
-
1 cup mini chocolate chips
How to make it:
-
In a small bowl combine the peppermint, condensed milk, and chocolate chips.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks.
-
Remove the bowl and add the condensed milk mixture. Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream.
-
Place the mixture into an airtight container and freeze until firm ( ours took three hours to become firm). Scoop and enjoy!
Here are some variations on the flavors to sub in if you don’t like peppermint:
-
For Peanut butter banana ice cream – substitute the peppermint extract & chocolate chips with ½ cup peanut or almond butter and 1 banana smashed up.
-
For a Reese's ice cream – substitute the peppermint extract with ½ cup peanut butter.
-
For Creamsicle ice cream – substitute the peppermint extract and chocolate chips with ¼ cup orange juice concentrate & ½ teaspoon orange zest
-
For chocolate ice cream – substitute the peppermint extract with ¼ cup chocolate fudge sauce or syrup.
-
For Strawberries and cream ice cream – substitute the peppermint and chocolate with 1 cup of sliced fresh strawberries that have been tossed with 1 tablespoon sugar.
-
For super Peppermint ice cream – remove the chocolate chips and put in ¼ cup crushed peppermint candy.
-
For Vanilla - substitute the peppermint extract with vanilla extract and don't add the chocolate chips.
I’m sure there are a million other variations on this basic recipe but peppermint is our favorite!
Finally here’s a great recipe from Instructables for How to make ice cream in a bag:
