Welcome to Sunday Flavor! I am sharing my favorite recipe for incredibly creamy, homemade strawberry ice cream that requires just three basic ingredients and no ice cream maker. This is the perfect, simple summer treat bursting with fresh strawberry flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, pureed

Instructions

  1. Prepare your strawberries: If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them, then blend them until smooth. If using frozen, thaw them slightly and blend until you have a smooth puree.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This usually takes 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Combine the base: Gently fold the cold sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix, or you will lose the airiness.
  4. Add the fruit: Fold in the strawberry puree until it is evenly distributed throughout the base. You can stop here for a uniform pink color, or swirl in a few extra spoonfuls of puree for ribbons of color.
  5. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, like a loaf pan or an airtight container. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  6. Chill: Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. For the best texture, let it sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving your rich strawberry ice cream.

Notes

  • For an extra pop of color, add 1-2 drops of red food coloring when mixing in the strawberry puree.
  • If you want a slightly tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice with the strawberries.
  • This recipe is naturally egg-free, making it a great choice for a quick dessert.
