2-Ingredient Gelato Ice Cream – No Machine Needed!
The Base
Let’s start with a simple, quick ice cream base. In a large bowl, pour 500 ml of heavy cream (unsweetened) and whip it using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 250g of sweetened condensed milk. The unsweetened cream balances the sweetness of the condensed milk — that’s it! You now have a perfect base for incredible homemade ice cream. Time to get creative!
Vanilla Ice Cream
For a classic vanilla flavor, just add a few drops of vanilla extract to the base. Mix gently, freeze for 4 hours, then scoop and enjoy this timeless favorite!
Stracciatella Ice Cream
Stracciatella is my go-to gelato order, and it’s incredibly easy to make at home. Simply fold 50g of chopped dark chocolate (per ⅓ of the base) into the mixture. Freeze for 4 hours — done!
Coffee Ice Cream
For coffee lovers: use 1 shot of cooled espresso or 1 tbsp of instant coffee dissolved in a splash of water. Make sure the coffee is completely cool before mixing it into the base to avoid melting the cream. Freeze for 4 hours and voilà!
Final Tip
These are just three ideas — let your imagination run wild! This base is a blank canvas for endless flavors. Homemade ice cream has never been easier or more satisfying. Perfect for summer!
