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.
