Rich, creamy, and unbelievably easy, this No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream is made with just 3 ingredients. No ice cream maker needed, and easy to customize.
Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper. Place in the freezer while you prepare the ice cream.
In a large bowl, whisk 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to overwhip. When you lift the beaters, the peaks should hold their shape but gently curl over at the tip.
Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. You want to slowly and carefully incorporate the two mixtures together so the whipped cream stays light and aerated.
If desired, gently fold in up to 1 cup of mix-ins to the mixture now.
Pour into prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap and freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes
Mix-Ins: To add mix-ins to your No-Churn Ice Cream, fold in ½ cup to 1 cup of additional toppings or ingredients into your ice cream mixture right before freezing. Sweetened Condensed Milk: Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk. Any fat percentage works for this ice cream recipe.Storage: To prevent ice crystals from forming, place a layer of plastic wrap directly over the ice cream, then top with a lid or a layer of foil. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
