Eat it before it melts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My husband, Jeff, and I fully embrace this idea for living life to its fullest. We spend most of every year living aboard and cruising our Westsail 42, <em>Outrider<\/em>, based in San Carlos, Mexico.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe id=\"gkstfcayky\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisingworld.dragonforms.com\/gkstfcayky\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"width:100%;height:165px;border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re also fans of actual ice cream, but that part of living the good life was elusive on <em>Outrider<\/em> until recently. Limited freezer capacity meant that, when cravings struck, we were forced to go ashore for a fix. Storing a half-gallon of ice cream on the boat was just not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not long ago, I was aboard <em>Outrider<\/em> doing chores when, weary and warm, I craved ice cream. I wasn\u2019t in the mood to go ashore to get it, so instead, I decided to try making it. I knew it was doable; my mother always made her own without much fanfare. Unfortunately, I\u2019d never learned how. All I could remember about her recipe was one ingredient: condensed milk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An online search for that \u00adingredient netted several recipes. I chose the least-\u00adcomplicated one. It looked quick and easy. Eventually, I did go ashore\u2014to the supermarket for ingredients\u2014and,&nbsp;back aboard <em>Outrider<\/em>, I \u00addutifully followed the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPour whipping cream into a bowl and beat until it forms a peak,\u201d it instructed. I have only a hand whisk on board. Thirty minutes of increasingly frenetic agitating later, the cream hadn\u2019t whipped into anything resembling a peak. It was as flat as a prairie. Frustrated but determined, I followed the remaining instructions, fearing that this whole exercise was turning into an epic fail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With nothing to lose, I poured the mixture into a quart-size freezer container and made space in the freezer. Six hours later, it was ready. The recipe said to eat it within two weeks. Were they kidding? We polished off half of it that night. It was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite my love of ice cream, I knew I wouldn\u2019t repeat that time-consuming drill every time we craved it, which was often. Fresh whipping cream as an ingredient was also a minus; it\u2019s not a priority when it comes to fridge stowage, and its shelf life is short.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perusing local grocery store shelves, I spied an old favorite: Nestle Media Crema\u2014canned table cream. I knew that it was a thick cream, so I decided to give it a try. I grabbed two cans, plus a bottle of vanilla extract and a can of sweetened condensed milk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back on board, I ditched the whipping process and instead whisked the cream for two to three minutes, then added the condensed milk and vanilla extract, and whisked briefly again. I poured the mixture into my container, stuck it in the freezer, and crossed my fingers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondrously, this ice cream was far superior to the first batch. It was delicious and creamy, sweet and smooth. It was perfect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks later, we set sail before sunrise for a crossing of the Sea of Cortez, bound for Playa Santispac in Bahia Concepcion on the Baja peninsula. About 15 miles out, just as we encountered a line of shrimp boats dragging nets, alarms began sounding. The autopilot flashed a communications error, and the depth sounder stopped working. There was an odd ticking sound coming from somewhere. We swung back toward the marina to sort things out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ease our disappointment, I whipped up a batch of ice cream while we sailed. Safely back in our slip, we relaxed and savored bowls of vanilla perfection, our troubles fading with every delicious spoonful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homemade ice cream on board anytime, anywhere. If that isn\u2019t living the good life, what is? Just remember to eat it before it melts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Super-Easy Ice Cream (<em>Yields: About 1 quart  or 10 scoops<\/em>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ice-Cream-CL32-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Ice cream with chocolate sauce on a dish\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ice-Cream-CL32-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ice-Cream-CL32-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ice-Cream-CL32-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ice-Cream-CL32-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cruisingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ice-Cream-CL32.jpg 2000w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Super-Easy Ice Cream<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Lynda Morris Childress <\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 7.6-oz. cans <a href=\"https:\/\/outclick.co\/l\/01jmjccfn2yf0nwzp2q4e52n75\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Nestle Table Cream<\/a>*<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 14-oz. can <a href=\"https:\/\/outclick.co\/l\/01jmjce4k0va9exmtgz056azrt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">sweetened condensed milk<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\u00bd Tbsp. <a href=\"https:\/\/outclick.co\/l\/01jmjcgdz2rx75s0t6jqtk6n6b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">vanilla extract<\/a> or other flavoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cup strawberries, halved, or other berries (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chocolate or other syrup for topping (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>* Also sold as Nestle Media Crema.
