Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade no-churn strawberry ice cream recipe that delivers a silky, rich texture and fresh berry flavor without any fancy equipment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 can (14 oz/396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth but still with tiny bits of fruit visible for texture. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the lemon juice. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate and deepen the flavor.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the chilled heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the condensed milk mixture until evenly combined.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the strawberry-condensed milk mixture using a spatula, folding gently to keep the mixture airy and light.
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with the spatula. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
  7. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  8. Before scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for perfect scoopability.

Notes

If ice cream hardens too much, stir halfway through freezing to keep creamy and avoid ice crystals. Use ripe, fragrant strawberries for best flavor. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk. Adjust sugar based on berry sweetness.
