Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat sugar, sour cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add 2% milk and fruit (if using), then pour mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Freeze until firm before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using heavy cream instead of 2% milk. You can also experiment with different flavors by adding cocoa powder or crushed cookies. If you prefer a fruity version, try blending in fresh strawberries or peaches, similar to Peach Macaroon Ice Cream. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for better incorporation.
Serving Suggestions
Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and top with your favorite toppings like chocolate syrup, nuts, or fresh fruit. This ice cream pairs beautifully with Hot Water Sponge Cake for a delightful dessert combination. For a fun twist, consider making ice cream sandwiches with cookies or serving it alongside brownies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming. It can last for up to two weeks. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk?
Yes, you can use whole milk or even almond milk for a dairy-free option. However, using whole milk will give you a richer flavor and creamier texture, while nut milk may alter the taste slightly but still works well.
How long does it take to freeze the ice cream?
Typically, it takes about 4 to 6 hours for the ice cream to freeze completely. For best results, allow it to freeze overnight. If you're in a hurry, you can check it after a few hours and stir it to promote even freezing.
Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts?
Absolutely! Stir in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or crushed cookies just before pouring the mixture into the container. This adds great texture and flavor, making your ice cream even more enjoyable.
