Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Mixture
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Main Ice Cream Base
- 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 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
- Blend the strawberries: Once the strawberries have released their juice, use a blender or food processor to puree the strawberries until smooth. For a textured ice cream, leave the puree slightly chunky.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Combine the ingredients: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream, then carefully fold in the sweetened condensed milk until everything is well combined to maintain fluffiness.
- Freeze the ice cream: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the surface with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours until fully set and creamy.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries.
- You can adjust the sugar amount depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- Leaving small chunks of strawberry in the puree adds texture to the ice cream.
- Make sure to fold ingredients gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature before scooping for easier serving.
