Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
Prepare the strawberries:
- Wash, hull, and slice your strawberries. Blend them into a purée or mash them by hand if you prefer a chunkier texture.
Mix with condensed milk:
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberry purée with the sweetened condensed milk. Stir until fully blended.
Whip the cream:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
Fold everything together.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture. Be careful not to deflate the cream—use slow, smooth motions until it’s fully incorporated.
Freeze:
- Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Scoop and enjoy:
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. Serve and enjoy your homemade creation.
