Ingredients
Scale
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and pureed
Instructions
Prepare the strawberries: Wash, hull, and puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of puree.
Whip the cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
Combine base: Gently fold the cold sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add strawberry puree: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream mixture until streaks of pink appear. You can mix more thoroughly if you prefer a uniform color.
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan or an airtight container. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
Chill: Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. Stirring is not required for this no-churn method.
Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, chill the sweetened condensed milk and mixing bowl before starting.
If you prefer a thicker strawberry texture, chop half of your strawberries finely and fold them in along with the puree.
To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the heavy cream with chilled full-fat coconut cream and use a vegan condensed milk alternative.
