Method
Preparation
- Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until just combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Flavoring and Freezing
- Divide the basic ice cream base evenly into three separate bowls.
- For chocolate ice cream, fold in cocoa powder and chocolate chips into one portion.
- For strawberry ice cream, gently mix in chopped strawberries and sugar into another portion.
- For cookies and cream ice cream, fold in crushed Oreo cookies into the final portion.
- Transfer each flavored mixture into individual freezer-safe containers.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Notes
For best results, make sure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping. You can experiment with other flavor combinations like coffee, mint chip, or fruit purees. Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier scooping.
