Cheater Soft Serve Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. heavy whipping cream

1 tbsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

3 c. vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Step 1Using a handheld electric mixer, whisk cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla and continue whisking to make stiff peaks, about 30 seconds more. Using a rubber spatula, stir in ice cream until well combined. Transfer mixture to a large, resealable freezer bag and freeze until semi-firm (like soft-serve ice cream), 4 to 6 hours.Step 2When ready to serve, remove ice cream from freezer and, if needed, knead bag until uniformly soft, about 30 seconds. (Cover bag with a towel to protect your hands from the cold.) Snip off a corner of the bag to pipe ice cream into a cone, or simply scoop and serve. Looking for more dessert ideas?
