This no-churn ice cream is a dream come true for home cooks who want rich, creamy texture without the need for an ice cream maker. It’s made with a base of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk, then flavored with fruit purées—like mango, strawberry, or banana—for natural sweetness and vibrant color. The result is a silky, scoopable ice cream that freezes beautifully and tastes like summer in every bite.
In your Sahiwal kitchen, Hassan, this could be a staple for Eid desserts, birthday parties, or late-night cravings. The pink and yellow tones in your image suggest strawberry and mango—two beloved flavors that pair beautifully with the creamy base. And with your flair for presentation, this dessert fits perfectly into your “Chilled Treats” collection.
🧂 INGREDIENTS:

Base:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)

- Add vanilla extract if using. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. Divide & Flavor:
- Split the base into two bowls.
