Recipe FAQs
No-churn ice cream simply means ice cream that does not need a churn! You can easily make ice cream just by pouring it into the proper container and freezing it until solid.
I think so! In my opinion, no-churn ice cream is thick, creamy, and oh, so smooth.
Marshmallows do not freezer because they are mostly made up of sugar, cornstarch, and gelatin. This is why marshmallows are so soft and fluffy!
Condensed milk is a good heavy base for the ice cream and allows it to have that extra sweetness.
Expert Tips
- Store this marshmallow ice cream in the freezer, covered, for up to six months.
- Drizzle this ice cream with chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or strawberry sauce for additional flavors.

No Churn Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1, 14 ounces can of sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick spill mat and place mini marshmallow on it. Broil these in the oven on high for 1-2 minutes until they become nice and toasted. Remove from oven and allow to cool fully.
- Pour your heavy whipping cream into a large bowl or stand mixer. Begin to mix on low then slowly increase speed. Mix for ~3 minutes until stiff peaks form and you’ve made whipped cream!
- In a separate large bowl combine sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in your whipped cream to the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Do not stir this vigorously! You don’t want to reduce the air in the whipped cream. Mix this for ~2-3 minutes until totally uniform and no lumps of whipped cream are present.
- Now, fold in ~¾ of your toasted marshmallows. (You may need to break these apart a bit so they’re not just one big clump!)
- Pour your ice cream into a ~6+ cup container (you can also use a loaf pan!). Add the remaining toasted marshmallows on top.
- Freeze for 6-8 hours.
- Once frozen remove from the freezer and enjoy!
