This recipe keeps things simple, but having the right tools makes all the difference.
Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
Two mixing bowls (one preferably chilled)
Rubber spatula for gentle folding
Loaf pan or freezer-safe container
Piping bag (for that iconic swirl look)
Plastic wrap
Tip: If you chill the mixing bowl and beaters before starting, the cream will whip faster and fluffier.
Ingredient Substitutions and Additions
This recipe is a fantastic base, but don’t be afraid to make it your own. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Swap the vanilla for other extracts like almond, coconut, or mint to create new flavor profiles. You can even try a splash of espresso or a touch of maple syrup for a more gourmet twist.
If you’re dairy-free, you can experiment with coconut cream and dairy-free condensed milk. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
Mix-ins are welcome here too. Fold in mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, swirls of peanut butter, or fruit preserves right before freezing for a fun variation.
Want to make it festive? Add sprinkles or crushed candy on top before freezing, or serve with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Whipping up your own soft serve is easier than you might think. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes. The cream should hold its shape when you lift the beaters.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and whole milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 3: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the milk mixture into the whipped cream. Fold slowly and carefully to maintain the airiness of the whipped cream. This is what gives the soft serve its signature texture.
Step 4: Transfer the mixture into a piping bag or a loaf pan. If using a piping bag, twist the top tightly to seal. Cover the loaf pan or bag with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
