I can safely say vanilla is the most universally accepted ice-cream flavor. Notice how pies, crumbles, brownies are always paired with vanilla flavored ice-cream? I rest my case. From my chocolate ice-cream post last month, there were requests for a no-machine recipe. So as promised, here is one using only 3 ingredients! The result of this product is smooth and creamy, giving the machine-churned ice cream a run for their money.
Ingredients:
1 cup (240 ml) whipping cream
½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla extract

The cocoa powder in this picture is for the chocolate version. See recipe at the bottom of this post.
Place the whisk and bowl into the freezer for 5 mins before whipping the cream. Whip whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Delicately fold until combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Transfer to individual-size containers and freeze for at least 4 hours. Once the ice cream is frozen, scoop out portions into a bowl, top with a cherry if desired, and enjoy.
