Here’s a recipe for a 3-Ingredient Frozen Dessert that’s incredibly easy to make and perfect for hot days. This recipe is creamy, sweet, and requires no baking — just mixing and freezing.
🍦 3-Ingredient Frozen Dessert: The Easiest Sweet Treat You’ll Ever Make
✅ Ingredients:
-
Sweetened condensed milk – 1 can (14 oz or 396g)
-
Heavy whipping cream – 2 cups (480 ml)
-
Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
(You can also swap this for another flavor extract like almond or mint if preferred)
🥣 Instructions:
Step 1: Whip the Cream
-
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
-
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).
-
You’ll know it’s ready when the cream holds its shape when you lift the beaters.
Step 2: Fold in the Sweetened Condensed Milk
-
Gently pour the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream.
-
Add the vanilla extract.
-
Using a spatula, carefully fold the mixture together until it’s fully combined and smooth.
Do not overmix — you want to keep the mixture light and airy.
Step 3: Freeze
-
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container (like a loaf pan or airtight container).
-
Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
-
Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
🍓 Optional Add-Ins (Just Before Freezing):
These will still keep the dessert at “mostly 3 ingredients,” if you want to add a twist:
-
Crushed cookies (Oreos, graham crackers)
-
Chocolate chips or swirls
-
Fruit puree or chunks (like strawberries or mango)
-
Nut butter ribbons (peanut butter, Nutella)
🍨 To Serve:
-
Let the frozen dessert sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
-
Serve in bowls, cones, or between cookies for ice cream sandwiches.
📝 Tips:
-
This base makes a no-churn ice cream that’s ultra-creamy.
-
You can double the recipe for a party or halve it for smaller portions.
-
For a dairy-free version, try using coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
