I made my first flavor – a sinfully good Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream – and quickly became addicted. As if ice cream wasn’t already a serious problem during this pregnancy! You could say I went a little overboard with six flavors, sure… But, did Noah go overboard stuffing his ark full of strange animals?

I rest my case.

So, you wanna make your own 2-ingredient, no-churn ice cream? Let me show you the way…

All you need is love. Wait, no. You need heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and your favorite mix-ins. Plus, yes, a love of ice cream. That’s it!

Whip your cream into a big heap of gorgeous white fluff. Meanwhile, mix your sweetened condensed milk with whatever good stuff you like. Crushed cookies, fresh fruit, cocoa powder, toffee bits, marshmallows – get creative!

My personal favorite? A combo of yellow cake mix, butter and sprinkles for Cake Batter Funfetti Ice Cream.

Have mercy!

  1. Genius, Georgia! I’ve tried the Cook’s Illustrated chocolate and vanilla no-churn recipes and they are delicious, but these flavors sound even better! I can’t wait to try the cake batter one.

  2. I think I just saw the light! This sounds and looks heavenly, mmmm!

    Finally after eight months without a freezer, I’m moving in to a new flat next week that has one! (one of the first things I checked on the viewing..hah!). Now, all I need is a proper hand mixer and I’ll be good to go!

    Thank you so much for all these scrumptious ideas Georgia! Also, would you be able to maaaaaaybe make a pistachio one? I remember when I moved to Scotland from Norway, the disappointment when I ordered “green” icecream and it tasted of mint (don’t get me wrong, it’s delicious, I just felt…..deceived…by the world!).

    PS your baby must be smiling with all these delicious things you whip up! :D x

  3. Such a great post, Georgia!! I will be trying this for sure!

  4. I love all the different varieties you have here, starting with just two simple ingredients. And although I have an ice cream maker, sometimes i just wanna keep things a little simpler. Your recipe will definitely come in handy — magic trick indeed!

  5. Thanks for your kind comment, Jules! Yes, you can definitely make a pistachio variation of this ice cream. Hope you enjoy!

  6. This is brilliant! Now I need to have an ice cream party!

  7. I have an ice cream maker but tried something similar once before and loved the results! It’s so easy! And that bourbon salted caramel flavor? Yesssss.

  8. What? Two ingredients? This is like the most genius recipe EVER! Love it!!!! and all the flavors, they look super delicious!

  9. Oh mercy me I’m in trouble now. :) An ice cream social is in my future.

  10. Love making ice cream like this! Can’t wait to try the cake batter version!

  11. Have mercy, indeed! Georgia, this recipe is a very dangerous one! Love the 2-ingredient idea using sweetened condensed milk to replace a cooked custard for most homemade ice cream recipes. It is so versatile, too! Love all the variations, too. Just imagine cooking down the sweetened condensed milk a bit to caramelize, like dulce de leche, and adding a little salt for a Salted Caramel Ice Cream variation! Heaven help us, now! ;) Thanks for sharing, my friend. Will pin to several group boards. Busy mom’s will love this one!

  12. This looks wonderful Georgia! Bookmarked to try soon. =)

  13. Love this and what great flavor combos! The cinnamon bun is calling my name!

  14. I have to admit my ice cream maker sure makes it easy…and I was assuming I was going to see some awful combinations all with bananas so this was a delight Georgia. Yum is the word. :)

  15. What a neat trick Georgia! Love how easy this sounds. And your flavor combinations look delicious!

  16. It’s like you knew that ice cream was my weakness! While I do have an ice cream maker I’m interested to try this super easy way of making it. I don’t know how I’ll ever choose which flavor to make, I think you covered all my favorites. Guess I’ll just have to make all 6 of them!

  17. OK….I’m sold!!! Totally need to make this no-chrun ice cream asap!

  18. Bookmarked! I can’t wait to try this. They all look so amazing Georgia.

  19. Looks amazing and so easy! I love that it doesn’t involve eggs!

  20. This is jaw dropping amazing and very vey very dangerous. The only thing that is saving me is I don’t normally have whipping cream on hand. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am a serious ice cream eater, so I don’t normally have it in the house. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in big big trouble here.

  21. Even though I have an ice cream machine, it’s so great to know I can whip up ice cream faster and without all the pre-planning. Love all the flavor ideas you shared too. The salted caramel is calling my name.

  22. This looks dangerously easy and delicious. I do love ice cream and the thing that stops me from making it every day and gaining a million pounds is that it’s a bit of an effort to drag out the machine from where I’ve tucked it away. I guess I’ll just have to rely on the old will power now, because these flavors are mighty tempting! The Bourbon Salted Caramel is definitely happening. :)

  23. ICE CREAM WITH JUST TWO INGREDIENTS??? And it looks this sinfully creamy???? Ooooohhhh gosh let me love you! These look like the best dessert ever! I need to try them all ;-)
    Have a lovely weekend! x

  24. YES-this is my fave too!!! I love how many flavors you can make! The ones you made look amazingggg

  25. HOLY MACKEREL! I can’t wait to try this myself. Best post I’ve seen all day!

  26. I was excited to see this post because I’ve been wanting to make ice cream for ages but don’t have an ice cream maker and I’ve heard it’s really hard to make by hand! lol. Thanks for the recipes. :)

  27. I love these recipes- I always use the same as you, condensed milk and double cream to make my ice cream. Think it makes a lighter and even creamier ice cream! Thanks for sharing these other flavours too! :)

  28. I love all the flavors! I just made no-churn ice cream too (tres leches flavor, recipe coming soon!) and I’m definitely a big fan!

  29. Oh, Georgia, this is a must try recipe! So many great option, but I’d definitely try the caramel first…swooning over your photos of that marbled presentation!

  30. These looks so good – I’m so glad you don’t need an ice cream maker! Mint chocolate chip sounds very good to me!
    Mary

  31. Wow! I have never tried making ice cream this way. They all look SO good and have such great texture.

  32. Ice cream is one of my favorite foods – love this post!

  33. Ok, Georgia, where do you come up with these brilliant ideas?? Who knew ice cream could be so easy and the variations are endless. I seriously don’t know how you could go wrong with heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk! My mind in swirling with different flavor for this recipe. Awesome post!!

  34. So you mean I can always have ice cream? Amazing!!! I love this post. Pinning forever :)

  35. I think the funfetti would be my favorite too!! SOO craving ice cream now!!

  36. What a great idea! I pinned your post, and am dreaming of various yummy spring fruit mix-ins… Thanks!

  37. Seeing all this variety of ice cream makes me so happy. It’s just so cheerful. Ice cream is one of the best things on earth. So happy we can enjoy it in the sun and warm weather…finally!

  38. Why didn’t I know about this before I owned an ice cream maker? haha This sounds too good to be true, being that I love ice cream SO much, and I love how simple it is. All of your flavors look delicious, Georgia — I know I would flip over each and every one. Pinning! :)

  39. I love ice cream whether it is churned or no-churn! But the no churn recipes definitely make it easier. So many delicious flavors too!

  40. This is dangerous being so easy. I love every bit of it though.

  41. Eeek this post has been bookmarked! I love making ice cream at home and these recipes sound amazing! Cinnamon Bun Ice cream? Yipee!!

  42. Georgia: Loved this idea, I made the strawberry cheesecake flavor today, but yesterday, I hope you don’t mind but I made up my own flavor using your base recipe. We like Banana pudding flavor, so I used your base recipe of whipping cream and sweetened, condensed milk, added 3 tbsp of instant banana cream pudding mix, 1 cup of diced bananas and 1 cup of roughly crushed vanilla wafers. It was awesome! The whole family loved it. Thanks for this idea.

  43. Now officially my favourite food blog. None can compare. Made the funfetti and a triple choc. All my frieds want to come over now.

  44. I love the idea of a banana pudding flavor – sounds delicious! So glad you enjoyed it.

  45. Isn’t the funfetti outrageous? I love it! Thanks for stopping by.

  46. Hi, I love trying out your recipes and so does my family. What kind of Vitamix do you have?

  47. I used a KitchenAid stand mixer to whip the cream, not a Vitamix. But you can also use a food processor or electric hand mixer.

  48. I have an ice cream maker, but it is still a pain to drag out. I can. not. wait. to try these no-churn recipes. Amazing!

  49. This is too easy (and delicious) for words.

  50. Holy cow! I am totally loving this two ingredient ice cream. I am so doing this all summer long. :)

  51. I super love this recipe. Everyone in the family love ice cream and I really find it exciting that there are only two recipes needed and I do not need to have an ice cream maker. This is surely a treat. Thanks a lot for sharing this trick.

  52. Haha. I would have totally separated this into 6 posts and posted them over 2 years or something. :D

    I’ve never tried this but I really want to. That and the sweetened condensed milk and Nutella thing!

  53. I just made the chocolate version but without nuts (one of my sons only like pistachios but I didn’t have any on hand). I could have eaten it before freezing it is soooooo good! I can’t wait until we can have some at 8 pm tonight! I was actually thinks about asking for a ice cream make for Mothers Day but we don’t any any space to store it. This is perfect! Thanks so much for the Mothers Day gift!

  54. It was DELICIOUS! I can’t wait to try more flavors!

  55. My hubby and son will love this idea! Ice cream doesn’t last long around our house. Thanks for sharing these delish flavors and ice cream recipe.

  56. Wow! Everything looks so good. I need to make this soon! May I know if I can add powdered sugar while whipping the heavy cream or would it affect the final result? Thanks.

  57. Hi Ela – You can add a little powdered sugar if you’d like, but there’s no need since the sweetened condensed milk is already very sweet.

  58. Can I use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed?

  59. No, sorry, I wouldn’t recommend evaporated milk or any other substitutions for the condensed milk.

  60. If Evaporated Milk doesn’t work because if the consistency, do you have any ideas on reducing the sweetness level? The Condensed Milk is sooooo sweet, and while I love ice cream it’s just too sweet for me. I was trying to figure out how to thicken evaporated milk and cut some of the condensed milk out, but haven’t had any luck. Any ideas would be great! Thanks in advanced!

  61. Sorry, I don’t have any recommendations for ingredient substitutions. I’ve only ever made this ice cream as written.

  62. I want to make it with marshmallow fluff, have you tried that? what would you recommend? i have a jar of the fluff at home and need a way to get rid of it. thought a marshmallow ice cream may be delish!

  63. I would start by just incorporating a little marshmallow fluff at a time into the base (heavy cream + condensed milk). You could even add chocolate and graham cracker pieces to make a s’mores ice cream. Hope that helps!

  64. This might be a dumb question, but what can I do with the remaining cake mix after I use one cup for the cake batter ice cream?

  65. I’ve mixed leftover cake mix with softened butter as a crumbly topping for fruit cobblers before. Apart from that, I’m not sure.

  66. Hi Georgia, I can’t wait to try this recipe. Do you think it’s possible to reduce the amount of condensed milk, as I wanted it to be less sweet?
    Thank you.

  67. It doesn’t taste overly sweet, but I think decreasing the condensed milk a little would be fine.

  68. i just made a Caramel and Hazelnut version, incorporating caramelised condensed milk instead of the plain version and crushed nuts, no salt or bourbon. My next one will be Maple and Walnut and we were thinking of a Nutella and Frangelico flavour. Many thanks for such a fab recipe!!!

  69. All the ice cream flavors look delicious! May I know if it’s safe to use cake batter w/o cooking it, w/c brand did you use? Thank you.

  70. For the “cake batter” ice cream, you’re adding dry, egg-free cake mix to the batter, not prepared cake batter, so yes, it is safe to eat. I believe I used Duncan Hines brand.

  71. Dose this hold up well? Would like to make an ice cream cake and store for a week or two before using it.

  72. This ice cream has more of the consistency of soft serve, so I wouldn’t recommend it for holding up a homemade ice cream cake. Firmer store bought ice cream would be a better bet, I think!

  73. OMG how good and EASY is this??? I have just made it and the ‘raw’ mixture is fab so can’t wait for the frozen version!!! Hubby loves ice-cream and is looking forward to dessert tonight, if we can wait that long!

    Looking forward to all those summer fruits to chop up and incorporate into the base mixture.

    Thank you so much from the UK!!

  74. How long does this stay creamy and good in the freezer?

  75. I would say about 1 month.

  76. Georgia, please advise how would you make a sorbet without a machine? Would it be a granita just because of the formation of ice crystals? My dd is sensitive to dairy and I would love a dairy-free option that is as easy as your ice cream recipe. Love your ice cream ideas! Can’t wait to make the bourbon caramel version.

  77. Sorry, I’ve never made sorbet without a machine so couldn’t advise on it. I would suggest searching for a machine-free sorbet recipe.

  78. Hello lovely! I made two batches of this lusciousness yesterday, and today have given away my Cuisinart ice cream machine!

    First, I made a heavenly, Crushed Heath bar-Bacon-Cashew Crunch (too good to share)
    And then I made a divine Cherry-Chocolate Chip…THANK YOU for sharing this technique! I’ll never look back at churned ice cream!

  79. So, I sent my hubby to the store with a list, and on that list was Sweetened Condensed Milk. He came home with FAT FREE sweetened condensed milk. Dare I try it???

  80. Fat free should work fine.

  81. LOVE Ice Cream so this just makes it possible to have several types in the freezer at any time. Also the sky’s the limit on what I have been putting in it.
    Rocky Road is so easy, the weight gain is the hardest thing about it.
    Bourbon Cherry, Apple Cinnamon, Chunky Chocolate Caramel………just made Mocha Chocolate with Mini Chocolate Chips and Chopped Walnuts.

  82. Hello,
    I live in France and ‘heavy cream’ is hard to come by. Is there an alternative – Cream Cheese, Mascarpone?

  83. Sorry, I have only ever used the ingredients listed for these ice cream recipes, so cannot recommend any substitutions.

  84. For the Cinnamon Bun ice cream, does the butter need to be unsalted? All I have on hand right now is Smart Balance butter substitute, which has some salt in it.

  85. Made the cinnamon bun ice cream last week. It was a total hit here. Hope to make the Bourbon Salted Caramel Ice Cream today. No Bourbon though… don’t like it and cannot have ANY alcohol… health reasons…. Thanks Georgia…. gonna gain back ALL the weight I lost because of this… LOL But what a sweet way to go eh? <3
