No Cook Ice Cream!!!!

Huzzah!

This was the find of the century for me. As you may know, ice cream and frozen yogurt are my weaknesses in life.  If slow metabolism wasn’t my mortal enemy, I would eat frozen yogurt every minute of my waking life. 

The only reason I am not constantly making ice cream or frozen yogurt at home is twofold. First, my willpower will not let me. But secondly, I sometimes dread standing over the stove while constantly stirring egg yolks, praying that they don’t scramble before the custard reaches the point where it can coat the back of a spoon, then chilling the custard for several hours before I can process the mixture in my ice cream maker.

Sometimes, I think it is for the best.

Well, the best (or the worst) thing may have just happened.

I found a recipe that requires NO COOKING AT ALL.

Heavy cream, half and half, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk are all you need to make an unbelievably tasty and creamy ice cream with no work required at all.  It took me all of 3 minutes to make the mixture.   Since my condensed milk was already cold, I poured the mixture into my ice cream maker and let the machine do all of the work.

I coulnd’t stop tasting this ice cream as it churned. I must have had two servings before it was even fully frozen. The vanilla ice cream was so good, I almost didn’t want to add the banana.  But I did, and it was worth it, because it was AMAZING.  Rich. Unbelievably creamy. I was shocked.  This tastes exactly like ice cream that would have taken me a half an hour to make beforehand.  The best part is, it is unbelievably versatile. This mixture could act as a base for any kind of ice cream.  Rum raisin.  Cookies and cream.  Mint chip.

A world of possibilities lay at my fingertips now.  And more time at the gym.

No-cook Banana Ice Cream Recipe:  Adapted from PinkBites.com

You will need:

2 cups of half and half

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

1 cup of heavy cream

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 very ripe bananas

2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice

Teanna, last week I blogged about this recipe and linked back to you. I've already had one person make it and love it.

Just tonight I made it again (have yet to churn it) with a few tweaks. As you stated this is but a stepping stone! :)
Thanks again!

This is the best and most versatile ice cream! For Coffee Ice cream, just add 1 packet of instant coffee crystals to the mixture, stir to dissolve them and turn on your machine and wait! YUM!!! For Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream, add frozen cookie dough balls to the frozen ice cream. Mix them in and you'll be really happy!

Can you cook ice cream long enough that it becomes hot?
I know you can cook it for so long that it becomes soup, but it's always still cold.

Hmmm…Ice cream! Good idea! I want to make this one on Saturday. I guess my gums are healed by that day. I've been craving for some ice cream after my dentist Miami, FL extracted my tooth. I'll keep this link so I have a guide in making this ice cream.
