Three ingredient, no churn ice-cream is easy sunshine treat
The ice-cream promises to be a big hit with all the family
As the good weather shows no sign of ending, many families will be enjoying an after dinner ice-lolly or ice-cream to help cool them down after a long day in the sunshine. It's the perfect time of year to treat yourself to something sweet, but having to constantly nip to the supermarket to restock your frozen goodies can be time-consuming.
To save you both time and money, you could try whipping up your own no-churn ice cream at home, which could be a tad healthier than the store-bought varieties. Making your own ice cream doesn't need to be a long and laborious task, it can actually be a simple job with a great result.
Carnation's delightful recipe requires just three ingredients, with creators claiming it's so easy to make you could almost do it with your eyes closed.

Ingredients
600ml carton whipping cream
200g Carnation Condensed Milk
1tbsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
You will also need:
900g loaf tin or similar to store the ice cream
Method
Beat the cream to soft peaks then add the condensed milk and vanilla and beat again to soft peaks.
If you're adding extra flavouring to your ice cream, now is the time to do it! We like to add cocoa powder for a delicious chocolate ice cream, or mix through berry coulis for a raspberry ripple.
Pour the ice cream into a freezable container. Freeze until solid (about 3-4 hours or overnight).
Extra tip
Don't shy away from the amount of vanilla - for best results look out for vanilla bean paste as it will make the final ice cream taste like all the premium tubs in the supermarket.
A Carnation spokesperson said: "We adore this ice cream recipe - so easy you could almost make it with your eyes shut! So creamy, smooth and undeniably delicious... no stabilisers, preservatives or anything weird.. try it this week you won't regret it!"
Shoppers were quick to comment on the straight-forward recipe.
One person wrote: "WoW!! So delicious and easy! As I just moved and have no kitchen utensils, no whisk, blender, I wasn't expecting miracles. I used a jar and lid to shake the cream and condensed milk, added salted peanuts and chocolate raisins. Amazing. Really."
Another added: "Simple, quick and easy to make. Delicious. Serve in a cone on its own, or with fresh fruit. Great with a banana, toasted walnuts and drizzle of maple syrup Just like ice cream should taste."
Another agreed, saying: "I make this ice cream regularly and I really enjoy it. It is very easy to make just put everything in the bowl and beat it , worth the time to make as it tastes delicious."
One person said they tweaked Carnation's recipe and were delighted with the result.
They said: "So, I thought I had a can of condensed milk in the cupboard.
"Turned out it was Nestle caramel. Still, I had a go at making salted caramel ice cream. Boy did it work out well. Family loved it."
