Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (very cold)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Whip the Cream: In a clean mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the very cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, indicating that the cream is perfectly aerated and will provide a light texture to the ice cream.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk, room temperature mascarpone cheese, and vanilla extract into the whipped cream mixture. Mix carefully to incorporate all ingredients evenly without deflating the whipped cream.
- Freeze to Set: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Place it in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the ice cream is completely solid and scoopable.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping.
- Allow mascarpone cheese to come to room temperature to facilitate smooth blending.
- No ice cream maker is required for this no-churn recipe.
- Freeze the ice cream for a minimum of 6 hours to achieve the right consistency.
- To soften before serving, leave the ice cream out at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.
