I have a confession to make.
I eat condensed milk. Like, I mean I eat it straight out of the tin. By the tablespoon full and it is the most undulatingly sinful indulgence I have ever experienced.
But a few years ago, it dawned on me that eating condensed milk tablespoons at a time… in fact whole tins at a time… would probably leave me a fat and toothless hag at the ripe old age of 30, so in an earnest effort to keep at least my molars and incisors intact (becaused dang if I can’t eat steak with my own set of teeth), I stopped buying condensed milk.
Until this week.
Because well it’s not my fault if this ice cream recipe calls for 100mL of condensed milk, right? I mean, 100mL for the ice cream and 400mL for me?
My love of condensed milk aside, I have another obsession and the biggest vice in my no-diet diet: ice cream.
Where many people have said to me that their freezer is too full of frozen meats and sauces to house any ice cream, well *ahem* mine is too full of various tubs of Haagen Dazs ice creams (my favourite is strawberry cheesecake), mochi ice creams and now home made ice cream, that I um…. I have no room for meat.
But that means we just buy our meat fresh, which is like… better, right?
Anyway, check out this ice cream recipe. I guarantee it is the easiest ice cream recipe you’ll ever find, or I’ll totally give you all of your money back.. I mean, how much did you pay to read this blog post? Yeah, I’ll give that back.
It was borrowed from Karen Cheng’s vanilla recipe, and I added the oreos because… why not, right? This easy recipe and making ice cream – successfully making ice cream – has been a serious milestone in my mundane little life and I am *so* excited to try some different flavours 🙂

OMG – I am so trying this! I, also, am a condensed milk fiend… here you can buy it in tubes… kind of like the flask for an alcoholic… resealable and hideable!! 🙂 lol
Thanks for a great recipe! 🙂
OOOOh I just love this. I love all that you love, and can’t believe this exciting ice-cream has just 4 easily accessible ingredinets! Finger licking good stuff this…WOW!
Joy: Oh yes I have heard about the tube variety – I guess that was the danger with the tin, once you open it you just gotta eat it all. I mean, god forbid it should go to waste!
deeba: I told you! Money back guarantee 😉
i have to try this too:)
I have to say, I’m not the biggest fan of condensed milk, but my partner is. I’m sure you two would get along so well =)
Wow, this looks amazing! That’s the what-to-serve-after-sunday-lunch-this-week-dilemma solved!
mc: Try it, it’s seriously easy 🙂
Mowie: no! NO! gasp! There’s something we don’t BOTH LOVE? *sigh* good thing I’m wearing pink today, makes the pain bearable.
The Student Gourmet: Definitely and sooooper easy to make, but just make sure you do it the day/night before as it needs 12 hrs!!
aw this is sweeet! oreos are great. and so damn addictive. 😉 send me some ice cream lovin’ x
Hi Catty, I am new to condensed milk and fairly new to ice cream making. I was suprised there were no eggs in this, it does sound a hell of a lot easier without having to make custard. Ha ha, but I present to you the ultimate easiest home made ice cream in the world EVER: 1 tin of Sainsburys basics custard and 1 jar of Sainsburys basics lemon curd. Mix whole lot together in ice cream maker, end of. I got that from Martin Lewis’ Moneysaving Expert Site and everyone who tries it loves it. I love it that Oreos are so much easier to buy now, I definitely want to make some Oreo icecream soon. PS thanks for the lovely stuff you said about my failed macarons! xx
Catty, you had me at “condensed milk”. If I need to add it to ice-cream for the sake of my molars, so be it…
diva: I’m making a list for you ~ ice cream, cinnamon scrolls.. what else is on that list? 🙂
Sarah: AH but you see, your recipe requires an ice cream maker, one which I do not have! This recipe is brilliant in that all you need is a whisk! And everyone has a whisk, no?
Greedy Diva: god we bond on so many levels… 😉
Omg, I love this. I LOVE IT!!! I wish there were healthier options besides condensed milk!!! 🙁
Condensed milk with a spoon? I am so, so so SOOOOO down with that. 😀
xox Sarah
dollydoesdesserts: Haha yeh unfortunately probably not although I wonder what would happen to the texture if you left it out?
Sarah: Damn yeah! 😀
Wow it looks really nice! My favorite ice cream is cookies and cream; i need to try this recipe 😀 (Y)
