3-ingredient ice cream recipes that you will definitely enjoy


We here at the SDC are guilty of craving (and indulging in!) ice cream just about any chance we get.

And what’s not to love about the sweet, cool, creamy treat? Ice cream is a classic dessert that never gets old. At the same time, it’s also super versatile since there are so many flavours and ways to serve it.



However, with the looming price hikes on commodities including dairy products, it might be high time for us to create our own stash of this decadent cold treat.

Preparing your own ice cream is oftentimes cheaper and healthier than the store-bought alternative as you can easily adjust the ingredients before freezing and serving them.

So, if you're looking for a delicious homemade ice cream recipe that you can try using cheap ingredients, then we've got good news for you!

Jax says that all the ingredients that you’ll need to create the homemade ice cream are 450ml of cream, a can of sweetened condensed milk, and flavouring of your choice (vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough or fruits).

In the video, she whisks the condensed milk and cream using a stand mixer until stiff peaks start forming.



Once the correct consistency is reached, Jax adds in some leftover caramel cheesecake — the flavouring she used for the tutorial — into the mixture and folds it in.

She then transfers the mixture into a container and lets it freeze in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving.

While the recipe is perfect for those of you who are looking to get your sweet tooth satisfied, it can't be denied that the recipe uses ingredients that contain high amounts of sugar.

And you know us, folks. We always recommend healthier alternatives to recipes and food items that may not be suitable for those who are following a healthy diet.

So, without further ado, we would like to recommend this easy, 3-ingredient healthy ice cream recipe that you will also surely enjoy!

YouTube content creator Sasha, who posts under the username How To Cook Smarter, shared a healthy ice cream recipe that is dairy-free and low in sugar.

In his video, Sasha revealed that the three ingredients you'll be needing to prepare this dessert are the following:

  • 2 14 oz can full-fat coconut milk (800ml)
  • 1/2 cup honey (170g)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g) or flavouring of your choice

As you may have noticed, the two recipes seem to have similar ingredients, with the cream being swapped out for non-dairy milk and condensed milk switched with honey.

So, how can you prepare this ‘healthy’ ice cream?



Sasha says that the first step is to add in the coconut milk, honey, and flavouring of your choice into a bowl before mixing them using a whisk or electric mixer.

Once the ingredients are well-combined, he transfers the mixture into resealable bags and lays them flat in the freezer until they harden.

Sasha says that if you don't have resealable bags, you can pour the mixture into ice cube trays or silicone moulds instead.

Once the mixture gets frozen, the YouTube user takes the resealable bags out of the freezer to break the frozen ice cream into pieces before placing them in the food processor to blend.

The process allows the frozen ice cream pieces to have a smooth and creamy texture similar to those of dairy-based ice cream.

Finally, Sasha serves the ice cream.

"At this stage, you can eat your ice cream or you can re-freeze it for firmer texture," he advised in the comments section.

My sister, when she was alive, used to make real creamy ice cream with sunshine powdered milk and something else.....wish I had gotten the recipe off her before she passed away :(
There is a low sugar condensed milk available now so I may try that!

A very simple version of ice cream that would be great for all those vegan or dairy allergic people, even those trying to lose weight or be more health conscious is blitzing frozen banana's or frozen fruit of choice in a blender until smooth. One ingredient or more if you are mixing two or more fruits.

What about a cheaper old fashioned way, my mum made it 50 years ago and I still make it far more economical and ingredients can be always on hand.
384ml can evaporated milk,1/3 cup of sugar,1 tsp vanilla essence,1 tsp gelatin.
 
Bought ice-cream always intigues me as I grew up with home made ice-cream. Even when my kids were young I made all our ice-cream. The quickest, easiest ice-cream to make at home is to freeze a can of evaporated milk. When the tin is frozen put the contents in a large bowl and beat it with an electric mixer until it has at least doubled in size. You can then add whatever fruit puree you like to flavour it. Put it back in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving. My kids loved it.

I have been making icecream with 3 ingredients for quiet a while now. If you want chocolate icecream, melt a block of chocolate with 70% cacoa and blend into cream mixture slowly at a time. I whip the cream first (Bulla), then add the contents of a very cold can of condensed milk (Nestle). Always use good quality ingrdients and make sure you whip each step for several minutes (i use freestanding mixer). Freeze overnight. If you make vanilla ice cream, use vanilla bean paste (be careful not to use too much!)
