Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours or overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can substitute half and half with heavy cream. If you're looking to reduce sugar, consider using a sugar substitute that measures like sugar. Make sure to mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution. Adding a splash of vanilla extract can enhance the vanilla flavor. This recipe can be made using any flavored cream instead of plain Pet cream for a twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider drizzling with Bub'S Lemon Sauce for a refreshing twist. It pairs beautifully with Elly'S Blueberry Crumb Cake for a delightful dessert combination. Top with fresh fruit or nuts for added texture, or create an ice cream sundae with your favorite toppings.
Storage & Reheating
Store the ice cream in an airtight freezer-safe container to prevent ice crystals from forming. To serve leftovers, let the container sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before scooping to make it easier. If stored properly, it can last for up to 2 months in the freezer, but it's best enjoyed fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand milk?
Yes, you can substitute Eagle Brand milk with another sweetened condensed milk, but the flavor and texture might vary slightly. If you want a lighter version, consider using a low-fat condensed milk, though it may not be as rich.
How can I make this ice cream recipe dairy-free?
To create a dairy-free version, replace Pet cream and half and half with coconut cream and almond milk or any other plant-based milk. Be aware that the texture may change slightly, but it will still be delicious.
What can I do if my ice cream is too hard after freezing?
If your ice cream is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping. You can also mix in a little milk or cream and re-churn the mixture if you have an ice cream maker, which can help restore a smoother texture.
