Easy Homemade Ice Cream without a Machine

This recipe has been going around the blog world.  I have seen it a couple of times. THIS was the first place that I saw it.
We decided to try it for our FHE treat one evening.  It was good.  I am not really of fan of homemade ice cream from a machine.  I felt like this was closer to store bought than the machine kind is, but it is still different.  If I were to make it again I would make it the day before so that it is in the freezer longer.  It tasted better the next day when it was harder. 
Here is our version.  We made S'mores ice cream(check out the link for other flavor ideas):

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup marshmallows
1/2 cup graham crackers broken up
3 Tbs melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla

Whip heavy cream in large bowl with an electric or stand mixer until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, butter, marshmallows, and vanilla in large bowl. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips, then gently fold in whipped cream.

Pour into a 2-quart container and cover. Freeze at least 6 hours or until firm.
