Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn ice cream recipe using just whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, and fresh strawberries, perfect for a creamy, smooth summer treat without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and lightly mashed
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes before starting.
  2. Pour the chilled heavy whipping cream into the bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, stirring gently until blended.
  4. Hull, wash, and lightly mash the fresh strawberries with a fork until small chunks remain but not pureed.
  5. Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula.
  6. Fold in the mashed strawberries carefully to maintain airiness.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container or loaf pan and smooth the surface.
  8. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  9. Remove from freezer about 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easy scooping.

Notes

Whip the cream to soft peaks only to avoid grainy texture. Fold ingredients gently to preserve airiness. Use fresh ripe strawberries for best flavor and texture. Thaw and drain frozen strawberries before use to prevent iciness. Freeze overnight for best firmness. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before scooping. Store leftovers in airtight container with plastic wrap pressed on surface to avoid ice crystals. Dairy-free version possible with coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk.
