Ingredients Used & Substitutions:

• Heavy whipping cream: there is no substitution for this, you have to use heavy whipping cream as milk or half and half will not whip into peaks. This can’t be maid with almond milk or oat milk either. This no-churn recipe works because the heavy cream whips. Whole milk will not work either, you need the fat content of heavy whipping cream.
• Sweetened condensed milk: there is also no substitution for this, this adds the right amount of sweetness and needed texture for this no-churn recipe.
• Bailey’s Irish cream: you can omit the Bailey’s if you want to make this without alcohol. Simply omit the 1/2 cup of Bailey’s and replace it with 1/2 cup heavy cream. This also works with Kahlua or other creamy liquors. This recipe is the perfect base for any additional flavors. You could also use homemade Irish cream liqueur.
• Chocolate chunks: you can substitute any kind of chocolate, like bittersweet chocolate, dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate. Chocolate covered espresso beans, edible cookie dough, or chocolate chips are also good additions. You can also leave this out if desired. Mint candies are a fun addition for St. Patrick’s day!

Tools I used for this boozy ice cream recipe:

• Rubber Spatula – a must have! Easily combine the ice cream mixture with a rubber spatula. I like these because they don’t come apart so I don’t have to worry about water getting inside the spatula and causing mold.
• Pyrex Mixing Bowl Set – I love this set of nesting bowls. I use them for everything, Pyrex glass does not break easily so you can trust on these bowls for years, plus they come in 3 useful sizes and can be stacked!
• Hand Mixer with Easy Clean Beaters – the perfect tool to have for whipping cream. These beaters stay clean, making them perfect for messy mixtures!
• Non-stick Loaf Pan – using a metal pan helps your ice cream freeze quicker and makes serving easy! You can also pour this mixture into a Tupperware, airtight container, or any glass container.

Recipe FAQs:

What is the difference between churned and no churn ice cream?

Traditional churned ice cream has air whipped into it giving it an airy texture. Since this no-churn ice cream is not made the same way, we incorporate air by whipping the heavy cream.

Why is condensed milk used in no churn ice cream?

Sweetened condensed milk adds the perfect sweetness to this four ingredient ice cream, it is also thicker than milk giving this no churn ice cream a rich, thick texture. It is a very important ingredient in this no-churn ice cream.

What else can I add to my ice cream?

Vanilla extract will add extra flavor. You can also add different mix-in’s such as crumbled chocolate chip cookies, chopped chocolate bars, espresso beans, different flavored Oreo’s, or edible cookie dough.
