4.6 from 74 reviews

This no-churn London Fog ice cream recipe combines the rich flavors of Earl Grey tea and vanilla with creamy, sweet condensed milk to create a smooth and aromatic frozen dessert. Perfect for tea lovers looking for an easy homemade treat without needing an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 480 ml heavy cream
  • 395 g sweetened condensed milk

Flavorings

  • 2 tsp loose leaf Earl Grey tea
  • 1/2 vanilla bean

Instructions

  1. Infuse the Cream: Combine the heavy cream and loose leaf Earl Grey tea in a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the cream warms to allow the tea to release its flavor and color. Remove from heat just before boiling. Immediately place the saucepan in an ice water bath and cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain out the tea leaves and chill the cream thoroughly in the fridge or freezer, stirring occasionally if in the freezer to prevent partial freezing.
  2. Add Vanilla and Whip Cream: When the tea-infused cream is cold, split the vanilla bean pod lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and mix them into the cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream to stiff peaks, taking care not to overwhip.
  3. Fold in Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream and gently fold it in until fully combined, maintaining the airy texture.
  4. Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the ice cream mixture into a suitable container and place it in the freezer. Allow it to set for 5-6 hours or until firm before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure to strain the tea leaves thoroughly to avoid any grainy texture in the ice cream.
  • When chilling in the freezer, stir the cream mixture occasionally to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • Use an electric mixer for whipping to achieve the best texture and volume in the cream.
  • This recipe requires no ice cream maker but a patience for freezing time.
