Print Recipe

A velvety no-churn ice cream featuring homemade berry compote swirls and crunchy graham cracker crumbs, delivering a creamy, textured, and easy homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300 g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup (100 g) graham crackers, crushed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berry Swirl: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups mixed berries, 2-3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-12 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  3. Fold in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Gently fold 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the whipped cream using a spatula.
  4. Incorporate Graham Cracker Crumbs: Reserve about 1/4 cup (25 g) of crushed graham crackers for topping. Fold the remaining 3/4 cup (75 g) into the ice cream base evenly but gently.
  5. Layer with Berry Swirl: Pour half the ice cream base into a loaf pan or container. Dollop half the cooled berry compote over it and swirl with a knife or skewer. Repeat with remaining ice cream and berry swirl. Finish with reserved graham cracker crumbs on top.
  6. Freeze: Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Chill bowls and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Whip cream to soft peaks only to avoid butter formation. Simmer berry compote gently to preserve flavor and color. Fold graham crackers in last to keep crunch. Let ice cream soften 5 minutes before scooping for best texture.
