Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar and instant vanilla pudding mix together in a large bowl.
- Add sweet milk (both kinds) and sweetened condensed milk to the mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or adding a touch of heavy cream. If you want to reduce sweetness, cut back on the sugar or use a sugar substitute. You can also experiment with different flavors of instant pudding mix for variety. If using fruits, make sure they are pureed or finely chopped to blend well. This ice cream pairs beautifully with Sour Cream Torte.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider topping it with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, or fresh fruit. It’s a delightful treat enjoyed on its own or alongside desserts like Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Bars. For a fun presentation, try layering it with cake or crumbled cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming. To rehydrate the texture, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping. If it becomes too hard, a brief microwave zap (10 seconds at a time) can soften it without melting.
