A quick and easy no-churn vanilla ice cream with colorful sprinkles that creates a festive, creamy treat perfect for summer gatherings and kids’ parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (about 75 g) rainbow sprinkles
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Mini chocolate chips (optional, as a substitute for some sprinkles)
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour the 2 cups of chilled heavy cream into the cold bowl and beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired. Stir until smooth.
  4. Add about one-third of the whipped cream to the condensed milk mixture and fold gently with a spatula to lighten it.
  5. Fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully until fully combined but still fluffy.
  6. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles, being careful not to overmix to avoid color bleeding.
  7. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent freezer burn.
  9. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. For a soft-serve texture, freeze for 4 hours.
  10. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy.

Notes

Chill your bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Use sturdy sprinkles like jimmies or nonpareils to prevent color bleeding. If sprinkles sink during freezing, gently stir halfway through freezing. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
