Low FODMAP No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream
If you are looking for Low FODMAP No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream, this is it! Simple, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract – and no ice cream machine required. Just time! The freezer does the magic. You do have do some prep-work first with Lacteeze drops to create a lactose-free dairy component (or two).
Low FODMAP Serving Size Info: Makes about 5 cups (1 kg); 10 servings; serving size 1/2 cup (100 g)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) lactose-free heavy cream, chilled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1, 14- ounce (397 g) can lactose-free sweetened condensed milk
Preparation:
-
Place chilled cream, vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl or bowl of stand mixer. Beat with electric mixer or balloon whisk attachment of stand mixer until soft peaks form. Take care not to over-beat it. At this point I finish off by hand and whisk with a balloon whisk just until firm peaks form.
-
Scrape into an airtight container and freeze until firm, preferably overnight. Allow to sit for a few minutes at room temperature, or maybe for about 10 minutes in the fridge, until it reaches a good scooping texture. Serve and enjoy immediately as it melts faster than conventional ice cream.

Tips
- Mix-Ins: You can add any sorts of “inclusions” (that’s the technical ice cream term) to this basic vanilla ice cream. It is up to you to monitor low FODMAP amounts per servings. Consider: chocolate chips, nuts, ribbons of Salted Caramel or fudge sauce. Refer to our Candy article to see what kinds of candies you can chop up to add. Brush up on FODMAP Stacking, while you are at it.
FODMAP Information
Our recipes are based on Monash University and FODMAP Friendly science.
- Sugar: Monash University and FODMAP Friendly have both lab tested white, granulated sugar. Monash states that a Green Light low FODMAP serving size of white sugar is 1/4 cup (50 g). FODMAP Friendly simply states that they have tested 1 tablespoon and that it is low FODMAP. Regular granulated white sugar is sucrose, which is a disaccharide made up of equal parts glucose and fructose. Sucrose is broken down and absorbed efficiently in the small intestine.
Please always refer to the Monash University & FODMAP Friendly smartphone apps for the most up-to-date lab tested information. As always, your tolerance is what counts; please eat accordingly. The ultimate goal of the low FODMAP diet is to eat as broadly as possible, without triggering symptoms, for the healthiest microbiome.
