Homemade vanilla ice cream with sweetened condensed milk

Q: Why do we add condensed milk in ice cream?

Condensed milk is cows milk with the water content evaporated off and is the second ingredient in my homemade ice cream. The thick and syrupy milk acts as a sweetener and softens the ice cream, allowing for easier scooping. To make your ice cream less sweet, you can use low-fat or fat-free condensed milk.
