No-Churn Ice Cream

I LOVE ice cream! Especially as the weather is warming up, it’s a nice cold treat to cool down with.

Ice cream seems intimidating to make, especially the ones with eggs in it. However, I have found an easy 2 ingredient ice cream based that you can add flavors and mix-ins to and create any ice cream concoction you wish! I may have as much fun with creating new ice cream combinations this summer as I do with my challahs!
