Description

No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream is a refreshing, creamy, and naturally flavored frozen dessert made with simple ingredients like fresh strawberries, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Perfect for summer indulgence, it requires no ice cream maker and can be prepared quickly, delivering a smooth texture combined with the sweet-tart taste of ripe strawberries.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

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

Strawberry Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull, and chop them into small pieces. Toss the chopped strawberries with lemon juice and sugar if using. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to macerate, which softens the berries and releases their natural juices for a richer flavor.
  2. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the very cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream will provide the airy and smooth texture of the ice cream.
  3. Combine Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream using a spatula. Use gentle strokes to maintain the whipped cream’s lightness while evenly incorporating the sweetness.
  4. Fold in the Strawberries: Carefully stir the prepared strawberry mixture into the creamy base, distributing the fruit evenly without deflating the whipped cream to ensure every bite is filled with strawberry goodness.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top evenly. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

  • Use very cold heavy cream and chill your mixing bowl beforehand for better whipping volume and stability.
  • Macerate the strawberries to bring out their juices and intensify flavor inside the ice cream.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep the ice cream light and fluffy instead of dense.
  • Freeze the ice cream in a shallow container to speed up freezing and improve texture.
  • Let the ice cream soften for 5-10 minutes at room temperature before scooping to make serving easier.
