- Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes. The cream should be fluffy but not too stiff.
- Fold in the Condensed Milk:
- Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Make sure to fold carefully so you don’t deflate the whipped cream.
- Add Vanilla and Biscuits:
- Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Fold in the crushed biscuits, mixing them evenly throughout the cream mixture. You can leave some larger chunks for added texture or crush them finely for a smoother ice cream.
- Optional Mix-Ins:
- At this stage, you can add any additional mix-ins like chocolate chips, swirls of caramel or chocolate sauce, or chopped nuts.
- Freeze the Ice Cream:
- Pour the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container.
- Cover the top with plastic wrap, pressing it gently against the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until fully set.
- Serve:
- Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or onto cones and enjoy!
- For a decorative touch, sprinkle some extra crushed biscuits on top or drizzle with caramel sauce.
Optional Variations:
- Cookies and Cream Ice Cream: Use chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos) for a cookies-and-cream flavor.
- Ginger Biscuits Ice Cream: Add crushed ginger biscuits for a warm, spiced flavor, perfect for the holidays.
- Chocolate Biscuit Ice Cream: Use chocolate biscuits or add a swirl of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips for the Perfect Biscuit Ice Cream:
- Don’t overmix when folding the whipped cream and condensed milk. You want to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Experiment with biscuits! Any type of biscuit will work in this recipe, so try different varieties based on your taste preferences.
- Freeze overnight for the best texture, but if you’re short on time, 4-6 hours will still give you delicious, scoopable ice cream.
Pairing Suggestions:
Serve your biscuits ice cream with additional biscuits on the side, or pair it with a warm slice of pie or brownies. A drizzle of hot fudge or caramel sauce can take it to the next level.
