No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream Creamy and Simple Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Use a fork to mash the strawberries slightly, releasing their juices, and mix until well combined. Set aside to macerate for about 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). Ensure not to overwhip.
- In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Once combined, gently fold in the macerated strawberries along with their juices. Mix until the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or a freezer-safe container, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or until solid. For best results, freeze overnight.
- When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes for easier scooping.
