Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon (freshly squeezed)
  • cups lemon dipped shortbread cookies (crushed)

Instructions

  • Pour your heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat the heavy cream at a high speed for about 3-5 minutes or until it reaches stiff peaks.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and lemon juice to the whipped cream. Use a large silicone spatula to fold the ingredients together until smooth and combined.
  • Gently fold in the crumbled cookies until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Transfer your ice cream to a 9x5 inch loaf pan and cover it with plastic wrap. Allow your ice cream to chill in the freezer for about 6 hours or until the center is set.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

When stored properly, your homemade no-churn ice cream will stay smooth and creamy in the freezer for up to 3 months.
I recommend freezing your ice cream in a covered loaf pan. The pan is wide and shallow enough that your homemade ice cream will freeze relatively quickly. I also recommend wrapping the loaf pan in two layers of plastic wrap to make sure that no air gets in!
