Who doesn’t adore the refreshing taste of ice cream? If you are like many people, you love ice cream, but you don’t like the chemicals and artificial ingredients in commercially made ice cream. If you love ice cream but don’t have a machine (or lack the patience to wait for your machine to do its job) then we have some good news for you!
We have a couple of recipes so you can make your own ice cream super-fast, and some of them only have two ingredients! How easy is that?!
The two-ingredient ice cream involves nothing more than equal parts of organic heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Put both of these in a bowl or in your blender, mix on high for about one minute, pour into a container and put in the freezer for about two hours. That’s it! Of course, this is the most basic of recipes, but if that’s all you have on hand, you can have some ice cream in a jiffy! Feel free to add whatever you have on hand to this mix, including chocolate chips, crushed Oreo cookies, crushed graham crackers, marshmallows, or maybe even a bit of strong coffee! The possibilities are endless!
One of the great things about these recipes is that you can let the kids help you make it. Imagine how excited little ones will be when they get to eat ice cream that they made themselves! It’s much better than the junk they serve on the ice cream truck, not to mention, much cheaper!
We have a couple of additions to dress up that ice cream and make your taste buds go ZING! Keep reading … It’s going to be a hot one!
Easy Strawberry Banana Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 2 Organic bananas, cut into slices
- ½ Cup of fresh or frozen organic strawberries, sliced (frozen works best)
- ½ Teaspoon of real vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
Put the banana slices on a plate in a single layer. Be sure you leave a bit of room between each slice. Freeze for at least two hours or overnight. When they are frozen, put the bananas and strawberries in your blender or food processor, and blend until they are soft serve ice cream consistency. Now add in your cream and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Put in a container and freeze again until it is solid.

Peel the oranges and break them into sections. Put them on a baking sheet or plate and put them in the freezer for about two hours or until they are hard. Add the coconut milk and half of the orange slices in a blender and mix until smooth. Add the remaining orange slices and blend again. Now add the sweetener of choice and the vanilla and blend one more time. Pour into a container and freeze until hard. This is so super tasty — you won’t believe how good this is!
