What Does Condensed Milk Ice Cream Taste Like?
Condensed milk ice cream has a rich, creamy texture with a softer consistency than traditional ice cream. This softness is due to the condensed milk, which doesn’t require churning, unlike regular ice cream.
The higher sugar content from the condensed milk contributes to its sweet flavor but also makes it melt faster. Because of this, it’s best to scoop it quickly and return it to the freezer to prevent it from becoming too soft.

While the ice cream’s softer texture might lead to quicker melting, it makes it easier to scoop and enjoy right away. The sweet, velvety base can be customized with different flavors like lemon juice, vanilla, chocolate chips, or fruit to create a delicious dessert without the need for an ice cream maker

Ingredients
2 cups (480 grams) cold heavy cream
1 can (400 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
Juice of 2 lemons
Directions
- Mixing and Whipping: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until it thickens into soft peaks with a creamy and smooth texture. Be cautious not to overmix to prevent it from becoming grainy or buttery.
- Folding in Condensed Milk: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated into the whipped cream.
- Incorporating Lemon Zest: Grate the zest of one unwaxed lemon into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Adding Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice from two lemons into the mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Achieving Smooth Texture: The mixture should now be smooth and creamy with a thick texture, ready to be transformed into delicious lemon ice cream.
- Transferring to Freezer-Safe Container: Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan, and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Freezing and Setting: Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming, then freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
- Serving and Enjoying: Once frozen, scoop the velvety lemon ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy, refreshing flavor. Store any leftover ice cream in the freezer, tightly covered, for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your heavy cream is cold, and your mixing bowl is chilled for quicker and smoother whipping.
- Gentle Folding: When incorporating condensed milk, use a gentle, sweeping motion to preserve the airiness of the mixture.
- Zest Finely: Grate lemon zest finely to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the ice cream.
- Maximize Juice: Roll lemons on a countertop before juicing to extract the maximum amount of juice.
- Smooth Surface: Before freezing, ensure the top of the ice cream mixture is smoothed out to ensure even freezing and a uniform texture.
- Patience is Key: Allow the ice cream to freeze undisturbed for optimal texture and solidity.
- Serving Tip: For easier scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
