Reasons to Love This Ice Cream

Ingredient Notes
- Sweetened Condensed Milk- It helps the ice cream to be thick, creamy and sweet.
- Pure Vanilla Extract- Make sure the vanilla you use is pure and gf or the ice cream will have a chemical flavor.
- Wow Butter- For those of you that don’t know, Wow Butter is a nut free butter spread that is made in a gluten free, tree nut free, peanut free, egg free and dairy free facility (it's vegan). It also contains no seeds and is made of soy. It is perfect for my household since my kids have issues with all those items aside from dairy (finally) and soy. I am lucky enough to have this product in my local grocery store, but you can also buy Wow Butter on amazon.
- Light Brown Sugar: The brown sugar has a subtle molasses taste which truly makes this ice cream pop.

Here are the step by step instructions to make this no-churn ice cream!
Step 1: Mix all the Ingredients Minus the Heavy Cream
In a large bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, wow butter, light brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Switch to a spatula when the mixture gets too thick. Set aside.

Once soft peaks form, pour the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream.
Step 4: Freeze
Pour the ice cream into a 9 x 5 loaf pan or freezer safe ice cream container. Smooth the top of the ice cream with the back of a spoon. Cover and freeze overnight.
Expert Tips
- Let it Freeze Overnight- No churn ice cream is simple to make but very soft. It really does need to freeze overnight otherwise it will be a soupy mess within a minute of taking it out of the freezer.
Recipe FAQs
Yes. It needs about 6 hours to freeze.
Yrs. This is not sponsored but the brand silk makes one. It says it’s gluten free but I don’t see a certified label, so I would look into that if you have celiac.
As for allergens, it does contain coconut, sunflower and faba bean protein, last time I checked the label. Always double check ingredients.
Store the ice cream in a 9 x 5 loaf pan or in an airtight ice cream container.
If using a loaf pan, cover the top with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Freeze for up to two weeks.
These are my favorite air tight freezer safe ice cream containers.
