FAQ’S
What does no churn mean?
No churn ice cream means there’s no need for an ice cream maker. It’s an easy way to make delicious ice cream without having to buy and store a cumbersome ice cream churner!
What if my ice cream is too icy?
To avoid the ice cream becoming iced over, cover the ice cream with plastic wrap before you put the container lid on it. This stops ice crystals from forming on the top of the ice cream.
Storing this no churn Almond Joy Ice Cream
No churn ice cream benefits from being stored at a stable temperature. So store towards the back of the freezer (not near the door), this way the temperature stays the same. Properly stored, this ice cream should last a few months.

Almond Joy No Churn Ice Cream. Followed the recipe exactly & it came out so very delicious.
Glad you enjoyed the recipe Jeani! Thanks for the review.
Wow this recipe looks amazing!
I know most no-churn ice cream recipes require sweetened condensed milk (to give that creaminess and to minimize ice crystals). I am not too keen on using condensed milk. Do you have any ideas of substitutes I could use? would cream cheese work?
