NO-CHURN VANILLA ICE CREAM

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.

NO-COOK, HOMEMADE BUTTER PECAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, evaporated milk, cream, sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract together using a whisk in a large bowl, taking care to avoid creating bubbly foam. Refrigerate mixture for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in salt until dissolved. Mix pecans into melted butter until evenly coated. Spread coated pecans in a single layer onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Flip pecans and continue baking until toasted and fragrant, about 6 minutes more. Remove butter pecans from oven and coarsely chop. Measure 1 1/2 cups butter pecans and reserve the remaining for another use.
• Pour cream mixture into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions for ice cream. When ice cream is semi-solid (about 30 minutes), stop the machine. Pour ice cream into an air-tight container and fold in 1 1/2 cup butter pecans. Cover ice cream with plastic wrap and seal container with a lid. Freeze ice cream until solid, at least 2 hours.
