no churn ice cream Tips
No churn ice cream is so stress free! Imagine that you can enjoy the silky smooth, creamy, and delicious store-bought ice cream but in your own home. Some key tips in making no churn ice cream is:
- FOLD in the condensed milk/vanilla combo: Be gentle with this mixture! We don’t want to over-mix the ice cream & cause it to crystalize. Use a silicone spatula to fold in the milk/vanilla combo into the whipped cream until everything is dissolved.
- Add the crushed cookies last: It makes it so much easier to fold this mixture into the
- LET IT FREEZE: Yes! We all want to dive into this goodness. However, let the ice cream freeze and settle into it’s state before you go scooping it into a cone. We promise…it’ll be worth the wait!
- Hand Mixer vs Stand Mixer: This recipe can be made perfectly with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. You’ll want to start out on a low speed when beating the heavy whipping cream. Slowly increase your speed as your whipped cream starts to thicken. As soon as you see the whipped cream peak, STOP! You’re ready to add the rest of the ingredients.
- Loaf Pan: Lining your loaf pan with parchment paper isn’t a must, but it really helps in the long run! It’s so easy to slide out the ice cream, cleanse the pan, & move onto your next baked good!
- Defrost & enjoy! Depending on your freezer, this no churn monster cookie ice cream will be so hard you might want to let it sit out for 10-15 minutes to soften up.

Sweetened Condensed Milk: The smooth part of the recipe! Using sweetened condensed milk makes sure that the ice cream doesn’t crystalize & you keep that smooth texture. Also, SWEETENED condensed milk is the goal here. Of course it adds extra flavor to the batch!
