Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
A no-churn Jamaican vanilla ice cream folded with crunchy Grape Nuts cereal. Sweet, creamy and easy, with no machine required.
A Jamaican favourite that comes together with barely any effort. You whip cream, fold through condensed milk, scatter in Grape Nuts, and freeze. No machine, no custard, no fuss. The cereal stays a little chewy in the cold cream, which is exactly what makes this one so moreish.

Scale:
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 1/4 oz Condensed Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Grape Nut Cereal
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the condensed milk and vanilla until well combined.
- Fold in the cereal and stir until evenly distributed.
- Pour into a freezer-safe container such as a loaf pan, lay cling film directly on top to avoid freezer burn, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or until solid.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping and serving.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks before folding in the condensed milk; this gives you a light, scoopable result.
- Fold rather than stir so you keep the air in, which is what stops no-churn ice cream from setting like a brick.
- Lay cling film straight onto the surface before freezing to keep ice crystals from forming.
- Leave it out of the freezer for a few minutes before you scoop so it softens just enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whipped cream folded with condensed milk sets soft rather than solid, because the trapped air and the sugar both stop it freezing hard.
It softens into a gentle chew, which is really the whole point of this ice cream. If you want a bit of crunch, fold in a handful of cereal just before serving.
Grape Nuts are the traditional choice and give that familiar flavour, but other crunchy cereals or chopped nuts are worth a try.
Kept airtight in the freezer it holds up for a couple of weeks. Make sure it stays well covered so it doesn't pick up freezer burn.
