"Why the quotation marks?" you ask? Well, technically this isn't ice cream. Real ice cream requires eggs to make a custard base and whatnot. This is a cheap (and easy) knockoff that's just as satisfying.
I had seen MANY "3 ingredient" ice creams floating around the web, so I kind of made up this recipe based on what I had learned through my research, and according to my taste.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole milk
1 cup half and half
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
vanilla bean, or vanilla bean paste- I used about 1 1/2 tablespoons (love that stuff!)
Directions:
- Whisk together milk and vanilla bean paste
- Add half and half, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk.
- Chill the mixture (I stuck it in the fridge for about an hour)
- Add mixture to ice cream maker, and churn according the manufacturer's directions
Mine turned into soft-serve at about the 30 minute mark. It was delicious, but a bit too soupy for me. I threw it in the freezer, and about 2 hours later it was perfect!
Incredible as-is, but better with a pizzelle :)
Oh yea- and check out those flecks from the vanilla bean paste!! I told you that stuff was awesome:
"It's the beaniest!"
Today I made another batch of this ice cream, and added 2 tablespoons bourbon. We plan to eat it with some chocolate-covered cocoa nibs....AWESOME!
