Easy Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe: No-churn, 3-Ingredients

Yield: 8 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes mins

+ Chill Time: 4 hours hrs

Total Time: 4 hours hrs 15 minutes mins

Based off our hugely popular3 ingredient creamy chocolate ice cream recipe, this strawberry counterpart has smashed fresh strawberries and a lot of love. Optional ingredients are a few drops of red food coloring if you want that extra pop of color.

We enjoy eating the ice cream about 4-5 hours after it's frozen because it's still slightly soft. Next day is great too. But the longer you freeze it, the more firm and icy it can become. So if it's been freezing for a few days, allow it to soften a bit at room temperature so it becomes easier to scoop. Adapted fromour Easy 3-Ingredient Creamy Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe here.

Makes about 1 quart.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream (not to be confused with half & half)
  • 14 ounces (397 g) sweetened condensed milk (not to be confused with evaporated milk) (one can)
  • 1 pound (454 g) fresh strawberries or thawed frozen strawberries , mashed
  • (optional)red food coloring to achieve a brighter pink color and few slices of strawberry for garnish

Instructions

  • Mash strawberries in a bowl and set aside. If using thawed frozen strawberries, drain the excess juices and water first, then mash the strawberries. If using fresh strawberries, keep the juices.

  • In large mixing bowl of stand-mixer or in a large bowl and using anelectric hand mixer, add all the ingredients: heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk.

    Whip the heavy cream mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form (to prevent massive splattering, start out at a slower speed and as the cream thickens, increase the speed). Be careful not to over mix or "break" the whip cream mixture.

  • Pour the mashed strawberries into the mixture and gently fold in until combined. (Optional) for a brighter pink color, add a few drops of red food coloring into the mixture and gently stir.

  • Pourthe whipped mixture into a freezer safe container. We like to use a bread pan. Top with a few slices of strawberries for garnish (optional). Cover and freeze for about 4-5 hours. In about 3-4 hours you can have a "soft serve" type ice cream. If you prefer a more firm texture, freeze for at least 5-6 hours or overnight.

    I make ice cream with sweetened condensed milk all the time and with 2 cups of heavy cream, you definitely don’t need the full 14 oz. can of milk. Half the can is plenty sweet enough. I can’t imagine how sweet the whole can would make it.

    Yesterday I made both your strawberry and chocolate versions of this ice cream. A few months ago, I bought the ice cream stand mixer attachment and the ice cream was good but it never got passed the soft stage. Your recipes turned out amazing and the strawberry version is nice and hard today. The flavor is spot on and I added some food coloring. It looks and tastes better than store bought. The chocolate version turned out a bit different but I added some stuff so that’s probably why. I had the sweetened condensed milk left over from only adding 1/4 cup, so I made some dulce de Leche in the pressure cooker. I added salt and swirled it in the ice cream. Then I added some Heath bits that I had in the freezer. OMG….best chocolate ice cream ever, even if it stayed a little soft! Very rich taste and velvety feel in your mouth. Thank you so much for these recipes – I will be making these again and again. And will weigh 500 pounds. 🙂

    I saw a recipe where you roasted the strawberries in the oven for 45-60 minutes and then ran them through the food processor. Same amount of whipping cream and condensed milk. You could even add a few chopped strawberries to it if you want chunks in there.

    Roasting the strawberries brings out more of their flavor

      Using roasted strawberries sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing.
