Aesther Cooking Pairs this recipe with
Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Strawberries
Mash the strawberries with a fork or blend briefly for a chunkier or smoother texture—your choice! Stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Mix the Base
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and the strawberry mixture until combined.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).
Fold It All Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture using a spatula, making sure to keep the texture light and airy.
Freeze
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
Tips and Tricks
If you want the best flavor then use ripe strawberries – even better if they’re in season or bought locally.
For a creamier texture, blend up half of the strawberries and leave the rest chunky for texture.
Make a swirl to the ice cream, by folding in some strawberry jelly or jam – only mixing to the point where you can see a swirl pattern of jelly/jam.
