3 fruity no-churn ice creams

We have the best ice cream hack for summer – no-churn ice-cream! Using condensed milk creates a smooth, creamy, refreshing ice cream every time. Simply make your vanilla base, divide into three batches and flavour each one with a different fruity ripple. Follow our handy guide below to stock up your freezer for summer!

  1. First, make the vanilla base

    Serves 18
    Takes 15 minutes, plus freezing

    Ingredients
    900ml whipping cream​
    397g tin sweetened condensed milk​​
    2 tsp vanilla extract​

    Method
    1. Pour the cream into a large bowl and use an electric whisk to whip to stiff peaks.

    2. Add the condensed milk and vanilla and whisk again to combine.

    3. Divide the mixture between 3 x 950g loaf tins, and follow the steps below to make three different fruity flavours…

    Tip: If you want to make vanilla ice-cream, then cover the tins with clingfilm, so it touches the surface of the ice cream, then freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid. Remove from the freezer 30 mins before serving to soften slightly.

  2. Forest fruits ripple

    Now make your first ripple – Forest Fruits. The tangy mix of cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants and blueberries perfectly offsets the sweet vanilla ice cream.

    Serves 6​

    Ingredients
    ​250g Black Forest Fruits Mix
    1 orange

    Method
    1. Put 250g frozen Black Forest Fruits Mix in a small saucepan with the zest and juice of 1 orange. Simmer for 6-8 mins over a medium heat, until thickened and reduced. Set aside to cool completely.​

    2. Swirl 2/3 of the cooled berry compote through one batch of the vanilla mixture (about 430g), then scrape into a prepared tin. Spoon over the remaining compote and swirl with a palette knife to ripple. Cover with clingfilm, ensuring it touches the top of the ice cream, and freeze for 4 hours.

  3. Peaches and cream ripple

    Next up, make your second ripple – Peaches And Cream. This classic summer flavour uses tinned fruit, making it even easier to knock up last-minute at home.

    Serves 6​​

    Ingredients
    410g tinned peach slices in light syrup

    Method
    1. Drain the peach slices and put 200g in a jug (reserving the rest), then use a stick blender to blitz smooth. Finely chop the reserved peach slices and stir through the peach purée.​

    2. Swirl 2/3 of the purée through one batch of the vanilla mixture (about 430g) and scrape into a prepared tin. Spoon over the remaining purée and swirl with a palette knife to ripple. Cover with clingfilm, so it's touching the ice cream, then freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
