Fresh, Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

We have 80’s temps coming and nothing sounds better than some fresh strawberry ice cream! Am I right?!  The best thing about this is that it’s no-churn, homemade ice cream!   Not all of us have those fancy ice cream makers, you know.

Can you keep a secret?  I’m not a super huge fan of ice cream.  I mean, I see other people go crazy over it but it’s one of those things that I could never eat again and be perfectly okay with it.  With that said, when I do eat ice cream, it’s always strawberry ice cream!  There’s something about that the sweet with a tiny bit of tartness from some of the strawberries. It’s a simple taste but one that I prefer over all the other blends out there these days.

This homemade ice cream is great because it requires no churning!  That’s right, I’m lazy and if I don’t have to churn it, I ain’t.  This ice cream recipe is only 4 ingredients.  I’ve seen other recipes that use a few more ingredients but if you know anything about us, then you know that we create our meals & snacks on a poor man’s budget.  IF we can afford added ingredients, then we use them, otherwise, I always use the basics.

While most would make this for a snack for themselves, I challenge you to make it for a different reason.  Make it for mother’s day and gift it.  Make it for the neighbor’s kids.  Make double so you can still have some for yourself. ;).

Author: Lori

Ingredients

• 2 C heavy whipping cream
• 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 C chopped strawberries
• ⅔ C sugar

Instructions

1. Place chopped strawberries and sugar in a large bowl and mix until all fruit is coated with the sugar. Set aside and let sit for an hour. (This softens the strawberries and creates a jam-like flavor).
2. Once strawberries are softened begin whipping the 2 C heavy whipping cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl add in sweetened condensed milk and strawberries with its juice. Using the electric mixer mix until all is combined. You can also smash the strawberries with a fork to make it smoother. (I prefer a little bit of the chunks in there).
4. Add the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream while hand-mixing constantly.
5. Once all combined pour it into a loaf pan and freeze for 6+ hours.
6. Once hardened, soften it slightly and top with fresh strawberries.
7. Enjoy!
