Time 5h20m

Yield 12 servings (6 cups total)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 half-sour pickles plus 1/4 cup pickle brine
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy cream
Green or white sprinkles, for decorating, optional

Steps:

  • Put a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan in the freezer to chill.
  • Pulse the pickles and brine in the carafe of a blender, then blend until pureed, about 1 minute. Strain the puree and discard any pulp. You should have about 1/3 cup pickle liquid.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and pickle liquid to the cream cheese and continue to mix until smooth.
  • Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined; this lightens it and allows the mixture to stay fluffy. Fold this lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into the chilled loaf pan and freeze, covered, until scoopable, about 5 hours. Serve with sprinkles if desired.

Time 5h15m

Yield 12 servings (6 cups total)

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Pinch fine salt
2 cups heavy cream, cold
Cookies and Cream: 12 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
Crunchy Cereal: 1 1/2 cups cinnamon crunch cereal, crushed
Cookies and Lemon: 1/2 cup jarred lemon curd and 1 cup shortbread cookies, crushed

Steps:

  • For the ice cream: Whisk together the condensed milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy, like soft-serve, about 2 hours. Swirl in any desired mix-ins with a spoon. Continue to freeze, covered, until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours more.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using real butter, cream, and vanilla extract.
  • Make sure the cream and condensed milk are very cold before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze faster and smoother.
  • Don't over-churn the ice cream. Otherwise, it will become too hard and icy.
  • Add the king cake mix and sprinkles at the end of churning for the best distribution.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe. Just freeze the ice cream mixture in a covered container for at least 4 hours, stirring every hour.

Conclusion:

This no-churn king cake ice cream is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any Mardi Gras celebration.
