Indulge in the creamy, dreamy simplicity of Lazy Vanilla Ice Cream—a no-churn recipe that comes together in just 10 minutes of prep! This beginner-friendly dessert combines rich heavy cream, luscious sweetened condensed milk, fragrant vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to create a velvety treat that's bursting with flavor. With no special equipment required, whipping the cream to stiff peaks and gently folding it into the vanilla base is all it takes to achieve an irresistibly smooth texture. Perfect for busy days or impromptu cravings, this freezer-ready delight sets in just 6 hours. Serve it straight from the container or pair it with your favorite toppings for a refreshing homemade dessert that’s as effortless as it is delicious.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
In a separate large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until fully blended.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture in batches. Use a spatula to combine them carefully, ensuring you do not deflate the whipped cream.
Once the mixture is smooth and uniform, pour it into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Cover the container with the lid or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
To serve, let the ice cream rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy!
