Easy homemade fresh fruit ice cream

July is National Ice Cream Month! Instead of heading out to your local chain ice cream shop to celebrate, save money by making a batch of ice cream from scratch using Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk.

What I like about Eagle Brand ice cream recipe is that you don’t need a fancy ice cream maker. With a few simple ingredients, you can easily make ice cream right in your freezer.
