Description

No-churn strawberry ice cream is a creamy, refreshing dessert made with just a few ingredients—no ice cream maker needed. Bursting with real strawberry flavor, it’s the perfect frozen treat for hot summer days.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold in the cooled strawberry mixture, creating swirls or mixing completely based on preference.
  6. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Scoop and serve when fully frozen.

Notes

  • Use very ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • For a chunkier texture, reserve some strawberry pieces to fold in separately.
  • This ice cream stays creamy and scoopable thanks to the whipped cream base.
