Print Recipe

A simple, no-churn vanilla bean ice cream made with just three ingredients: heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and real vanilla bean. Perfect for a quick, creamy, and nostalgic homemade treat without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 whole vanilla bean pod, split and scraped

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes before starting.
  2. Split the vanilla bean pod lengthwise and scrape out the tiny black seeds with the back of a knife. Set seeds and pod aside.
  3. Pour heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3 to 4 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, stir the sweetened condensed milk with the scraped vanilla bean seeds and the empty pod to infuse flavor.
  5. Remove the vanilla pod from the condensed milk mixture.
  6. Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream in 2-3 additions using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy.
  7. Pour the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for the perfect scoop.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better texture. Fold ingredients gently to keep airiness. Use a shallow container for faster freezing. Stir gently once or twice during the first 2 hours of freezing if ice cream becomes too hard or icy. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before scooping.
