Five-Minute Ice Cream Recipe

Five-Minute Ice Cream refers to a quick and easy method of making ice cream without an ice cream maker. Typically, it involves combining heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and flavorings like vanilla extract or fruit puree. The mixture is then whipped until it becomes thick and creamy, and then frozen until it reaches the desired consistency. It’s a simple way to enjoy homemade ice cream without the need for specialized equipment or a long freezing process.

To make Five-Minute Ice Cream, you’ll need just a few ingredients and a mixer or blender. Here’s a basic recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, chilled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for vanilla flavor)

Instructions:

1. Chill Ingredients: Make sure your heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk are well chilled before starting.
2. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This can be done with a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. It should take about 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed.
3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gently fold in the chilled sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract (if using) until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
4. Freeze: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
5. Chill in Freezer: Place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.
6. Serve: Scoop and enjoy your homemade Five-Minute Ice Cream!

Variations:

• Chocolate: Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the sweetened condensed milk before mixing.
• Fruit Flavors: Blend in fresh fruit puree or chopped fruit for a fruity twist.
• Cookies and Cream: Fold in crushed cookies or chocolate chunks before freezing.

This quick method allows you to enjoy creamy homemade ice cream without the need for an ice cream maker. Adjust sweetness and flavors to your liking for a personalized treat!
