Ingredients

• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 4 cups Ice
• 0.25 cup Kosher salt (for ice)
• 1 piece Ziplock bag (quart size)
• 1 piece Ziplock bag (gallon size)

Directions

Step 1

In the quart-sized ziplock bag, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Seal the bag tightly, removing as much air as possible.

Step 2

In the gallon-sized ziplock bag, add the ice and kosher salt.

Step 3

Place the sealed quart-sized bag containing the ice cream mixture inside the gallon-sized bag with the ice and salt. Seal the gallon-sized bag securely.

Step 4

Shake the bag vigorously for 4-5 minutes, making sure the cream mixture is moving and coming into contact with the cold surface created by the ice and salt.

Step 5

Carefully remove the quart-sized bag from the gallon-sized bag. Wipe off any residual salt and ice from the outside of the smaller bag to avoid contamination.

Step 6

Cut a corner of the quart-sized bag or use a spoon to scoop out the freshly made ice cream.

Step 7

Serve immediately in bowls or cones and enjoy your quick and creamy treat!
