Description

A creamy and fruity ice cream made without a churn or machine, perfect for summer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 ml cold heavy whipping cream
  • 397 grams sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 375 ml strawberries (about 12 large berries), hulled and diced
  • 80 ml granulated sugar
  • A squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
  • Chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (optional)
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Balsamic reduction for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse, hull, and dice strawberries. Measure out 250 ml for the sauce and 125 ml for folding in as chunks.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 250 ml strawberries and 80 ml sugar over low-medium heat. Cook for 8–10 minutes until syrupy and glossy.
  3. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Purée the strawberry sauce using an immersion blender, and let it cool completely.
  6. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (4–5 minutes).
  7. Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream.
  8. Fold in the reserved 125 ml of diced strawberries.
  9. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, dollop the puréed strawberry sauce on top, and swirl gently with a knife.
  10. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  11. Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Notes

Use chilled tools for best results. This ice cream keeps well for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
