Making ice cream without a machine is way simpler than you might think.
You will need an electric mixer (or a strong whisking arm), but otherwise it doesn't take any fancy equipment. And it definitely doesn't have to involve a ton of bags full of ice and salt.
Basically, you just whip cream with condensed milk and any flavorings you want, and then freeze. The mixture freezes to a smooth, creamy consistency that you can scoop just like churned ice cream.
