3 Ingredient Ube Ice Cream
This incredibly simple no-churn ube ice cream requires just three ingredients: heavy cream, ube sweetened condensed milk, and ube flavoring. The process involves whipping the cream and gently folding in the ube mixture before freezing, resulting in a rich, vibrant purple dessert with minimal effort.
Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl Ideally chilled
- 1 Electric Mixer (Hand or Stand)
- 1 Spatula For folding
- 1 Freezer-Safe Container
- 1 Measuring Cups/Spoons
Ingredients
Main
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 10 ounce can ube sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons ube flavoring
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl and the whisk attachments of your electric mixer in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl.
- Using the electric mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form.
- In a separate small bowl (or directly with the ube sweetened condensed milk if it's in a bowl), stir in the ube flavoring until well combined and the color is uniform.
- Pour the ube sweetened condensed milk and flavoring mixture over the whipped cream.
- Gently fold the ube mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula until no white streaks remain and the mixture is evenly colored.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Cover the container tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Freeze for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight, until the ice cream is firm.
- Scoop and serve the ube ice cream.
Notes
Achieving the right consistency when whipping the heavy cream is crucial; whip until medium-stiff peaks form, avoiding over-whipping which can make the ice cream grainy. Ensure the ube flavoring is thoroughly combined with the condensed milk before gently folding it into the whipped cream to prevent streaks and ensure even color and flavor. For best results, allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, to achieve a firm texture. For added texture, consider folding in toasted coconut flakes or small chunks of cooked ube after combining the mixtures.
