This No‑Churn Red‑Vine Infused Ice Cream blends a creamy base of heavy cream, milk, and sugar with the nostalgic tang of red-licorice-inspired flavor extract. Simply mix, chill, and let the extract steep into the sweet dairy overnight. The result is a luxuriously smooth dessert with a vibrant flavor reminiscent of Red Vines—plus an optional crunch of chopped candy for extra indulgence.
Ingredients
-
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
-
1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
-
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
-
½–1 teaspoon Red‑Vine flavor extract (adjust to taste)
-
Optional: small handful of chopped Red Vines candy for added texture
Directions
In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in Red‑Vine flavor extract, starting with ½ teaspoon and increasing to taste, to infuse the ice cream base with that signature red‑licorice aroma.
For texture, gently fold in chopped Red Vines candy (if using).
Pour mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight (at least 12 hours) to allow flavors to meld and the extract to fully infuse.
After chilling, whisk or shake the mixture to redistribute any separated elements, then pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions—or for a super‑easy no‑churn option, simply freeze until firm.
Scoop and serve this velvety Red‑Vine extract ice cream cold for maximum flavor.
Recipe Note
10 FAQs About This Recipe
What can I substitute if I don’t have Red-Vine extract?
Use cherry, strawberry, or red‑licorice–style extracts—start with half the amount and adjust to taste.
How much extract is safe to use?
A small amount (½–1 teaspoon per 4 cups) is enough; extracts are potent, so taste as you go.
Can I use non‑dairy milk?
Yes—full‑fat coconut milk blends beautifully, and plant-based creams work well, too.
Do I need an ice cream maker?
Not necessarily. This is perfect for no‑churn—just freeze in a shallow container and stir every few hours until firm.
How long does this ice cream last?
Store in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for best flavor.
Why chill overnight before freezing?
Cold base allows flavors to steep fully and yields a smoother texture when frozen.
Will the extract make the ice cream taste too strong?
Start with half the recommended extract, then increase if desired—it’s easy to overflavor.
Can I add mix‑ins like nuts or fruit?
Yes—swirl in berries, chocolate chips, or nuts after churning or before freezing for added flair.
What texture does chopped candy bring?
It’s optional but can add a fun, chewy contrast—just be aware it might soften over time in the freezer.
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely—just double all ingredients and use a larger container for chilling.
