Instant Melon Ice Cream by Kochi Asmr
By Kochi Asmr
Quick, creamy no-churn melon ice cream made with just a few simple ingredients.
Serves: 4Prep: 15 minCook: 4 hr (freezing)
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon (about 4 cups cubed)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel, seed, and cube the melon into roughly 1-inch pieces, then spread on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
- Add the frozen melon cubes to a food processor or high-powered blender and pulse until broken down into a coarse crumble, about 30 seconds.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and lemon juice, then blend again until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, about 2–3 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the blended melon mixture until fully combined.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 2 hours until scoopable. Serve immediately for a softer, instant-style texture or freeze longer for firmer scoops.
