Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries Mix
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let the strawberries sit for 10 to 15 minutes so they release their juices and become sweet and fragrant.
- Blend the strawberries: After the strawberries have released their juices, use a blender or food processor to puree them until smooth. If you prefer some texture in your ice cream, you can leave the puree slightly chunky.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream along with the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, which will provide the fluffy base for your ice cream.
- Combine the ingredients: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream to retain the airy texture. Then fold in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Freeze the ice cream: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the ice cream is fully set.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop the creamy strawberry ice cream into bowls or cones. Serve immediately or store any leftovers tightly covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen strawberries if fresh are not in season; just thaw and drain excess liquid before pureeing.
- For a sweeter ice cream, increase sugar in the strawberry mixture slightly according to taste.
- Use a chilled bowl and beaters for whipping cream for best results.
- This recipe requires no ice cream maker, making it super easy and quick to prepare at home.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain creamy texture.
