Lili's Super Simple Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

There are several recipes out there for "3-Ingredient Healthy Ice Cream."  Just so you know, this is NOT a particularly healthy recipe.  It is, however, very fun and easy enough for a two year old to make (with a little assistance).  We got this recipe from one of those Good Housekeeping magazines your mama gave us.

Ingredients:
  • 1 pint (which is 2 cups) of heavy whipping cream
  • 1-14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1+1/2 teaspoons of real vanilla extract
Directions:  Whip all of the above in the bowl of an electric mixer until it forms firm, stiff peaks.  (This will take at least 5 minutes.) Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan.  Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours.  Lick the beaters.  Stick your face in the bowl and lick that too while you're at it.

 When you take it out of the freezer the next day, it will be very cold.
You might be a little annoyed that your mama wants you to hold it while she takes a picture.

...But not as annoyed as you feel when she says you cannot have any ice cream until you've eaten your dinner.  Honestly, what is up with that woman?

Oh Sophia, Did I make that lovely ice cream for you?
I did??  Well, that was very nice of my little self, wasn't it?
