A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe featuring a creamy base with fresh strawberry swirls, perfect for a refreshing homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups (~225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree: In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries break down and mixture thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if a seedless puree is preferred.
  2. Whip the Cream: Pour cold heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Combine Condensed Milk and Vanilla: In a separate bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Fold Ingredients: Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula with slow, sweeping motions to keep the mixture light and airy.
  5. Add the Strawberry Swirl: Pour half of the ice cream base into a freezer-safe container. Spoon dollops of cooled strawberry puree on top, then add the remaining ice cream base. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the strawberry puree through the ice cream mixture, creating ribbons.
  6. Freeze: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture.

Notes

Avoid over-whipping the cream to prevent it from turning grainy or into butter. Chill bowl and beaters for better whipping. Simmer strawberry puree gently to avoid harsh cooked flavor. Fold ingredients gently to keep mixture airy. For a seedless puree, strain through a fine mesh sieve. Freeze slowly for best texture. Can speed freezing by placing container in ice water bath but patience is recommended.
