Make No Churn vanilla ice cream with brownie bites with our quick and easy recipe! Your first spoonful will be a taste of heaven.

The hardest thing about making this No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream was finding the can opener. No joke. Do you think I could find that thing in my kitchen? Sure, I have a million kitchen utensils and tools, but my kitchen isn't that big. I even called Mr. Juggling Act at work to see if he put it in some funny place. I finally found it stuffed into the dish rack - crisis averted!
What? Not having a can opener isn't a crisis in your house?
When it is hot outside, the last thing I want to do is more work. After I (finally) found the can opener, making the no churn ice cream was simple. In fact my family was enjoying fresh homemade ice cream in 6 short hours!

Once I had all my tools and ingredients in place, I whipped up (no pun intended) this No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream in no time. It's the perfect example of a semi-homemade recipe that really wows.
This ice cream is rich and delicious but easily made without an ice cream machine. I love the bites of brownie throughout, and so does Mr. Juggling Act. He wants you to know that this ice cream should come with a warning label because it's so rich.
"I had a BIG bowl and it goes down easy, but it hits your stomach like a ton of bricks!" I think that's kinda of a compliment. Listen, just use a little restraint and eat this in moderation and you'll be fine.
🔪Instructions

- First, beat the heavy cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form. This is crucial because it changes the consistency of the cream. If you skip this part, the end result will be an ice cream that isn't very creamy at all.
- After that, gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk. Do not over-mix it.
- Then, mix in whatever you want for mix-in. I used brownies cut into small pieces.
- Then freeze it for about 6 hours.
The easiest ice cream has the fewest steps. In fact, when I realized how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker, I was hooked!
