No cook vanilla ice cream with sweetened condensed milk

Q: Why do we add condensed milk in ice cream?

Condensed milk is cows milk with the water content evaporated off and is the second ingredient in my homemade ice cream. The thick and syrupy milk acts as a sweetener and softens the ice cream, allowing for easier scooping. To make your ice cream less sweet, you can use low-fat or fat-free condensed milk.

Is it safe to eat uncooked eggs? My parents made no-cook ice cream, but we have lost the recipe. Thanks!

I've made this recipe 3 times now. I decreased the sugar by 1/2 cup and like it better. The last time I made it, I used 4 bananas from my freezer and it was delish! Thanks for the easy, yummy recipe!
I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! I've been making ice cream this way for years, although I never use evaporated milk. I hate the cooked version. I'd rather just have store bought. But this is how homemade ice cream is supposed to taste. The texture and flavor are superb. We made ice cream for our employees one day for employee appreciation and being HR, it became my job. I used this recipe and everyone was wanting to know how I made it. I've also swapped regular milk for chocolate milk and...well, it just doesn't get any better than this! Thanks for sharing!!
Everyone really enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This was VERRY Creamy! I used a gallon and 1/2 freezer and it turned out great. I have been making ice cream for 25 years and this was a first time I ever had a hard time getting it out of the freezer. It was very creamy! This will be made instead of our old standby! Thanks
This is a very dense ice cream! I happen to love it that way, but it's pretty hard to scoop out once it's frozen, you should let it defrost in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour before serving. Super creamy because of the condensed milk -- I added melted chocolate and it was almost like eating frozen fudge. Next time I make this I will use less sugar, it was just a little too sweet. Thanks, Beachgirl, I see many versions of this coming out of my freezer in the future.

How does sweetened condensed milk affect ice cream?

The use of sweetened condensed milk, a pre-cooked blend of milk and sugar, eliminates the usual cooking step of dissolving the sugar when making ice cream. It has a low freezing point so the formation of ice crystals is minimized, and it lends itself well to recipes made without an ice-cream freezer.

Why do we add condensed milk in ice cream?

Condensed milk is cow's milk with the water content evaporated off and is the second ingredient in my homemade ice cream. The thick and syrupy milk acts as a sweetener and softens the ice cream, allowing for easier scooping. To make your ice cream less sweet, you can use low-fat or fat-free condensed milk.
