Whipped Milk Ice Cream – no machine needed to whip up this two ingredients treat! 

whipped milk ice cream A Whipped Milk Ice Cream { no machine }

     Did you know you can whip evaporated milk to a stage of delicious fluff?

    Did you know that you can make delicious ice cream if you… freeze it?

     When I found this recipe, I flipped. Then I composed myself. But then I flipped again!

     Look at the ingredients list.

     Yep, two. Sugar and milk. Evaporated milk. With vitamin D added.

Whipped Milk Ice Cream Recipe Whipped Milk Ice Cream { no machine }

    If you haven’t tried making your own ice cream yet, I am sure you at least thought about it.

    I can see ice cream popping up all over the web. All of them delicious. Most of them using heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. Some even eggs. Most of them want you to use an ice cream maker.

I am hiring my KitchenAid mixer to do the whipping and my freezer to do the freezing.  ( But if you are lucky own an ice cream maker, just skip the freezer part and churn your ice cream in the machine. )

    There are so many advantages to this recipe. It’s fast ( 5 minutes of whipping it together ), easy ( only two ingredients ) and so versatile ( add vanilla extract and you have vanilla ice cream ). And did I say, cost effective? I payed 80 cents for the can of evaporated milk. And one can of milk will make you so much ice cream, you will want to swim in it! I told ya, it will be life-changing. 🙂

    I might be wrong here, but I tried to count calories on this and it came out to 47 calories per serving. Would it be possible???

When your ice cream looks like this, it’s ready to be stored in the container.

My Hubby said: “Just like Dairy Queen!”. Soft-serve, fluffy, delicious ice cream. They are not as dense and rich as ice cream made with eggs and heavy whipping cream, but they melt in your mouth and leave you truly satisfied.

I am going to share how to make chocolate ice cream using the same method, so stay tuned! I also have my notebook filled with ideas for this ice cream, so they re going to hang around here, on CCS. 🙂

Just remember, if you want to make these, start a day ahead and make sure your milk is thoroughly chilled.

    We tried your recipe because I accidentally purchased evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk… and we LOVED it! So easy and turned out delicious 😋 Thank you!!

    I just used this recipe to make pumpkin ice cream. I added 1 cup of pumpkin puree (homemade! 😀 ), 1 tsp. cinnamon and a few dashes of pumpkin spice to the ingredients. It’s freezing now, so I hope it turns out. Thanks for this simple (and cheap) homemade ice cream recipe! 🙂

    By repeating it 4 times, do you mean I need to put it in the freezer for 1 hour, and I minute of whipping 4 times? Then, altogether its 4 hours and 4 minutes of whipping?

    This is so awesome! Can u reduce the amount of sugar? Will it effect the ice cream? Like texture wise? I was think a 1/2 cup to 3/4. Thanks! 🙂

      Hi! You can as much sugar as you like. It’s just for the taste because the milk is not sweet.

          I do think that blender will work – the idea is to whip the milk. Let me know if you try it that way!

    Just made this- can’t wait to see how this comes out once frozen- my previous attempts at ice cream without an ice cream maker have been ‘crystallized’ so I’m really hoping this will be as yummy as it looks! 🙂 I used around 2/3rds of a cup of icing sugar (I’m from the UK so I think that is the alternative to powdered sugar)

    This sounds great! Do you think it would work with sweetened condensed milk instead and then you could skip or lower the sugar?

    Hi Just wanted to check how long it lasts in the freezer, making it for Xmas day and going to put crushed candy canes it it, but wanted to make sure if ok to freeze for 4 days before eating ?
    Thanks

    Reply

    • CrunchyCreamySw says

      It never lasted this long in our house so it’s hard for me to say if it will be still good. Try three days and check on the ice cream every day. Give them a stir if needed. Hope this helps! Love the sound of candy cane ice cream!

    I made it using 2% Evaporated milk, 1/4 c. powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3 packets of splenda to cut down on the sugar! A great diabetic treat!

    Thank you for this delicious recipe! I’ve made this 3 times in the past 4 days 🙂 I made the vanilla, and then I made the vanilla and added crushed oreos and I also made the chocolate (I added my cocoa with a little of the milk, so it was still creamy). All delicious! Now I’m going to see if I can make mint chocolate chip from this vanilla base! Only I’ll start doubling the recipe, my family of 6 goes through it too fast!

    Still in the freezer but already it looks (and tastes) fantastic. For my flavouring, I added a bit of matcha green tea powder, and it is phenomenal. Super easy, but very creamy and light. Definitely saving this recipe.

    My Mother used to make this for our family way back in the 19sixties. We had four girls and Mum and Dad and we used to have it for special (or not so special) occasions at Sunday Lunch. I still can taste it now…it was so delicious. Growing up and living in Australia back then was, and still is, the best life a child could have. I salivate over the recipes my Mother, Grandma and Nanna used to make. Caramel Tarts, with proper pastry, Pineapple Flummery tart, and Heavenly Hash Pie were my favourites.

    Is it just a 1/4 cup of powdered sugar or 1 and a 1/4 cup? just thought i’d check before i make it….thanks! Sounds amazing though!! 🙂

  26. CrunchyCreamySw says

    Not sure I know what you mean… The addition of water will make the ice cream have ice crystals and it would be harder after freezing. I would just add the cake mix itself. Let me know what you end up doing! Thanks, Megan!

There’s such a dearth of recipes out there for your layman (read: poor, underfunded, and machine-less) kitchen cooks that this one is a real refresher. Thank you for sharing it–I can’t wait for one final excuse to whip this up before the summer “ends”! Looking forward to more fantastic and accessible recipes.

    Wow!!! 2 ingredients..looks so yummy! I’ve bee experimenting with making a low fat ice cream with milk, gelatin, egg yolks and condensed milk.

    How is the texture of this? Does it become icicly after it freezes?

    Reply

    • Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says

      Hi Asiya! This ice cream will remind you of soft serve from Dairy Queen. It doesn’t get icicly at all 🙂 Unless you add something that contains water to it. Hope you will give them a try! Thanks for stopping by!

    My hubby and I made this today using our Cuisinart ice cream maker! It took less than 30 minutes for it to finish! We added about 1/2 cup of 2% milk to cut the sweetness down? It is FABULOUS! Since we don't have any Dairy Queen's here, we think it taste similar to McDonalds soft serve! Thanks so much!

      This recipe was WAY too sweet for me and even my crazy sweet tooth of a daughter thought it was too sweet. Two of my kids wouldn’t even eat it. I think we just don’t like the powdered sugar sweetness. Next time I’ll try the sweetened condensed instead to see if that has a better flavor for us!
