What is No Churn Ice Cream?
No Churn ice cream is made by combining whipped cream (unsweetened) with sweetened condensed milk.
The sweetened condensed milk keeps the ice cream from freezing super firm, and obviously adds sweetness.
While No Churn Ice Cream isn’t quite the same as traditional custard-based ice cream, it’s a fun summer dessert that won’t take hours out of your day!
It’s also really easy to add in your own sauces, swirls and mix ins to make it your own.
How to make no churn ice cream:
- Whip up some cream: you want to incorporate air into this recipe so that your ice cream isn’t a frozen block of creamy! For this reason only heavy whipping cream will work.
- Fold in some sweetened condensed milk — the sugar keeps the ice cream from freezing completely solid, and obviously adds sweetness.
- Add in any mix ins you want! For this recipe we use chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, chopped pecans and chopped Turtle candies.
- Freeze! In 4-6 hours you can have soft serve consistency, but I usually let it freeze overnight if possible.

I made this yesterday–what a gooey delicious mess! Great recipe.
The Recipe Rebel says
Hi Clara! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this review!
Flo says
I have been making this no churn ice cream for a couple of years now and my husband loves it. He also loves a Turtle Sundae. I see this recipe calls for turtle candies. In my country we do not have turtle candy. Are they absolutely necessary or can I replace them with chopped up Toblerone say. Or can I leave them out completely.
Ashley Fehr says
You can replace them or leave them out!
Anige says
I would love to make this but am a type 2 diabetic. Is there anyway to make this so I can eat it?
Ashley Fehr says
I would really recommend finding another recipe.
Veronica L. says
I made this and loved it. It was perfect and SO delicious. My husband said it was a little bit too rich. Do you believe that as a complaint? Life should always be so difficult for him. Great recipe. Keep up the good work.
Ashley Fehr says
Thank you so much Veronica! The sweetened condensed milk does definitely make it a decadent treat!
Laura M says
I would have voted orange creamsicle.
WANDA BOSWELL says
I made this in summer berrys and it was great. BUT it did not freeze hard like ice cream and the only thing I can think of was I did not beat the Cream long enough? Or is it supposed to be very soft?
Ashley Fehr says
Hi Wanda! Mine does get very hard like ice cream. Do you have it in a deep chest freezer? Different freezers are different temperatures so I’m not sure if that’s why? I know our fridge freezer doesn’t freeze the same as our chest freezer or our upright freezer — the chest is the coldest! I would just beat the cream until it’s whipped cream and I think you’d be fine. I hope that helps!
Jess @ Sweetest Menu says
I can see why turtle won! What’s not to love about chocolate. nuts and caramel? This looks heavenly Ashley! Pinned!
Dorothy Dunton says
Hi Ashley! When we moved somehow my ice cream maker disappeared, but with so many no churn recipes (which are much easier) I don’t miss it! The hardest part is deciding which to make first!
Jesseca says
Turtles are my weakness! I love the slightly salty crunch added by the pecans. Adding this to our summer must-make bucket list!
Kelly says
I love all the choices and turtle is totally a winning combination! I could go for a double scoop of this right now and can’t wait to try this soon!
Annie @ The Garlic Diaries says
Seriously drooling over this right now…I, personally, am very glad your Facebook group voted this as number one so I can have this yummy recipe! Love.
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
Turtle ice cream is one of my favorites! I need to try this soon!
Sarah @Whole and Heavenly Oven says
I’m no-churn ice cream’s BIGGEST fan! All of your ice cream options sounded completely amazing, but let’s be honest: turtle anything just WINS! This ice cream is a home run for Monday!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
I’m not picky when it comes to ice cream, so I think I could devour ALL of these flavors! I love the turtle version, though…gives it such a nice texture and chocolatey flavor! YUM!
Cathleen @ A Taste of Madness says
I love no churn ice cream recipes. I really need to try this!!
Susan L says
Question….do you freeze this covered or uncovered?
Ashley Fehr says
You can do either! If you’re freezing it for more than a few hours until you can eat it I would definitely cover with plastic wrap.
aimee @ like mother like daughter says
