Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let the strawberries sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
- Blend the strawberries: Once the strawberries have released their juice, use a blender or food processor to puree the strawberries until smooth. You can leave it slightly chunky for a more textured ice cream, if preferred.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Combine the ingredients: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream. Then, fold in the sweetened condensed milk until everything is fully combined.
- Freeze the ice cream: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop and serve the creamy strawberry ice cream. Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- If you want a swirled effect, reserve some of the strawberry puree and swirl it through the ice cream mixture before freezing.
- For an added crunch, fold in some crushed graham crackers or chopped chocolate before freezing.
- Feel free to use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available. Just make sure to thaw them before blending.
- This ice cream is best enjoyed within 2 weeks, but can last up to 3 weeks if stored properly in an airtight container.
