About Ice Cream

This no churn ice cream is made using fresh cream which is beaten lightly just to make it fluffy and airy in texture. Beating the cream helps in giving soft and creamy texture to the ice cream later. Condensed milk adds sweetness and also helps in making the ice cream smooth without ice crystals forming.

Vanilla extract gives a mild flavor which is loved by all. It is not too strong but gives pleasant smell and tastes great overall. Since there is no churning involved, the method is very easy but still the final result comes really good in taste. Once it is frozen properly, it scoops easily and melts slowly in mouth which feels very nice.
