Creamy, no-churn ube ice cream made with just 3 ingredients! A homemade Filipino favorite inspired by Trader Joe’s—rich, sweet, and full of ube flavor.
Chill: Place a large mixing bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to chill.
Whip Cream: Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Using the chilled beaters, beat the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
Combine: Gently fold in the condensed milk, ube halaya and ube extract until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much; you want to maintain that airy texture.
Freeze: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Chill: Place the container in the freezer and let the ice cream freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
Serve: Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious homemade ube ice cream!
Notes
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk for faster whipping.
Use quality ube halaya for the best flavor.
Don’t skimp on the ube extract—it’s key to the vibrant color and flavor.
For smoother ice cream, mix the ingredients thoroughly but gently.
