Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 kg / 2 lb strawberries, ripe, hulled, and halved
- 2 cups / 500 ml full-fat cream, for whipping
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (395g / 13 ounces)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare roasted strawberry base by arranging fresh strawberries on a baking tray and coating with sugar at 160°C/320°F for 60 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking time.
- Transfer roasted strawberries to food processor and blend until achieving a smooth, vibrant puree. Allow mixture to cool completely.
- Combine cooled strawberry puree with condensed milk and vanilla extract, whisking until thoroughly integrated and slightly fluffy.
- Whip heavy cream in a separate chilled bowl until forming stiff, voluminous peaks that hold their shape.
- Delicately incorporate whipped cream into strawberry mixture, using gentle folding technique to maintain air bubbles and preserve light texture.
- Transfer mixture into a freezer-safe container, ensuring surface is evenly smoothed.
- Cover entire surface with parchment paper to prevent ice crystal formation and minimize potential freezer burn.
- Freeze for minimum 12 hours until firm and scoopable, allowing flavors to fully develop and texture to set perfectly.
- Remove from freezer, scoop into serving dishes, and enjoy creamy, intensely flavored no-churn strawberry ice cream.
Notes
- Roast strawberries deeper to enhance natural sweetness and concentrate flavor intensity before blending into ice cream base.
- Whip cream meticulously to achieve perfect stiff peaks, ensuring light and fluffy texture throughout the no-churn ice cream.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum natural sweetness and vibrant color in the final dessert.
- Store in airtight container with parchment paper directly touching surface to prevent unwanted ice crystal formation and maintain smooth consistency.
