How to Make Ice Cream without an Ice Cream Maker

Before the pandemic, I had purchased an ice cream maker thinking how cool it would be to make my own ice cream.

But soon enough, I realized that making ice cream became a tedious chore. Especially since you need to plan in advance to make ice cream because you need to place the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer overnight.

We tried ice cream flavors like White Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream, a Creamy Chocolate Gelato and a Nougat Torrone Ice cream all using an ice cream maker.

Lately, I just want to kitchen time to be less and eating time to be more which inspired me to go on the hunt for ice cream that doesn't require an ice cream maker.

The trick to no churn ice cream will shock you. It's one simple ingredient called condensed milk. Condensed milk and whipped cream are the perfect base for any flavor of ice cream you want to make.

Using this ice cream base to make any flavor of ice cream is what inspired me to make a lemon meringue ice cream flavor.

Ingredients Needed to Make No Churn Ice Cream

As mentioned before, condensed milk is the secret to making soft, smooth and fluffy ice cream without an ice cream maker. You'll also need the following to make this lemon ice cream flavor:

Base

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 35% Whipping Cream

Flavor

  • Lemon Juice
  • Lemon Extract (optional)
  • Graham Crumbs

See recipe card for quantities. You can add any other ingredients you wish.

Instructions on How to Make No Churn Ice Cream

Combine the lemon juice, the condensed milk, and extracts and whisk to combine. Set aside.

Place your heavy cream in the bowl of a stand and whip until stiff peaks form. Add the condensed milk into the bowl with the whipped cream. Let the condensed milk run down the edges and continue to mix on medium high until incorporated, then stop mixing.

Pour half of the mixture into the bottom of a loaf pan that is layered in graham crumbs, then top with more graham crumbs. Pour remaining mixture on top and layer more graham cracker crumbs on top. Place in freezer to chill for 8 hours.

Top tip

Be careful not to overwhip your cream. Stop whipping once stiff peaks form.

Use a spoon to spread the flavor topping if you find that it isn't spread out enough in your loaf pan. Then place in the freezer immediately.

Substitutions and Variations

Here are some great options to replace the lemon flavor:

  • Orange - replace the lemon with orange to make an orange popsicle flavor ice cream
  • Mint - add mint for another dimension of ice cream like lemon-mint
  • Marshmallow Fluff - serve with marshmallow fluff for a real Lemon Meringue Pie option.

If you have any other ideas, go for it! I'd love to know how your ice cream came out and what you added or did different. Leave a comment and share your idea.

Equipment

A stand mixer comes in handy to make ice cream. You can also use a hand mixer and once you are done whipping your cream, use a spatula to scrape all the whipped cream mixture into your storage containers.

Storage

You've made your ice cream, it's now time to pour it into a non stick loaf pan or a glass loaf pan and store it in the freezer.

You can also store it using recycled ice cream containers if you have them leftover from store bought ice cream or buy your own air tight containers.

Store the ice cream in your freezer for not longer than 1 month to avoid that dreaded freezer burn taste.
