Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Macerate the Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the hulled and chopped strawberries with the granulated sugar. Mash lightly to release their juices and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to macerate and develop sweetness and flavor.
  2. Whip the Cream: Chill a mixing bowl, then pour the heavy whipping cream into it. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy texture essential for the ice cream’s creaminess.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth and sweet ice cream base.
  4. Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold the macerated strawberries with their juices into the creamy mixture to create a beautiful marbled effect, distributing the strawberries evenly without deflating the whipped cream.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the combined mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the ice cream to set completely.
  6. Serve: Scoop the no churn strawberry ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. Optionally, top with fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • For a smoother texture, strain out large chunks of strawberries if desired.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to reach soft peaks quickly.
  • This recipe can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week; let soften slightly before scooping.
  • Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts before freezing for added crunch.
