If you’ve got a handful of crème eggs on hand, you’ve got what you need to make this no churn crème egg ice cream! Swirled with caramel and stuffed with crème eggs, you can’t go wrong with this ice cream!
Easter might be over, but if you’re like us you’ve still got piles of extra Easter candy sitting around the house! My favourite one to stock up on are the Reese’s peanut butter eggs, but we always “somehow” manage to find ourselves with a pile of the crème eggs too! They were never my favourite growing up, if I’m being totally honest, but since having kids I’ve discovered they’re actually quite delicious!!
I’m hoping since you’ve arrived at this page that you’re also quite the fan!
What is no churn ice cream?
I have quite a few no churn ice cream recipes on the site, but if you’re new to the wonder that is no churn let me explain! Most ice cream recipes call for an actual ice cream maker, and typically egg yolks, along with cream and sugar.
A no churn ice cream recipe only requires two ingredients:
- heavy whipping cream
- sweetened condensed milk
These two ingredients are combined together, along with your favourite toppings and mix-ins, then set in the freezer, and there you have it, ice cream is born!
How do you make no churn crème egg ice cream?
Along with the whipping cream and condensed milk, for this particular ice cream recipe, you’ll also need:
- crème eggs
- dulce de leche or caramel sauce
1. Start by chopping the crème eggs. Typically I keep the eggs in the freezer for about an hour before chopping them, it makes the job a little less messy!
2. Next, whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks are formed. Using a spatula, fold in the can of sweetened condensed milk until combined.
3. Add the chopped crème eggs, leaving a few behind to decorate the top with.
4. Using a freezer safe container, add 1/3 of the mixture, then drop spoonfuls of the dulce de leche on top. Use a knife or spoon to swirl it in, then add another 1/3 of the mixture, repeating with the dulce de leche until the freezer container is full. Finish with more dulce de leche and the reserved chopped crème eggs.
5. Place the ice cream in the freezer for 4-5 hours or until firm, before scooping and serving!
How long does this ice cream last in the freezer?
The ice cream will get harder the longer it is kept in the freezer, but it will last for up to 2 months, as long as you keep it covered. Trust me, you won’t need to keep this for 2 months in the freezer!
Do you have to use dulce de leche?
Although not necessary, it is a delicious addition to this ice cream! You could also use chocolate sauce or salted caramel sauce. I always use the canned dulce de leche, usually sold right by the sweetened condensed milk for my recipes. It’s so simple and easy!
If you’ve got a stash of those crème eggs sitting around, you definitely need to think about making this ice cream!
I love no churn ice cream! These are a few of my favourites:
