Strawberries are love! No, I mean it. They make you feel like it is Valentine’s Day. I’m very excited to share this strawberry ice cream recipe because it is the creamiest of all ice cream recipes I’ve posted. And it is very easy to make. That’s how I make my all homemade ice cream like Cherry Ice cream, Plum Ice Cream, Peach Ice Cream, and Mango Ice Cream without an ice cream maker.
Ingredients
Strawberry: I recommend cooking strawberries because cooking breaks the enzyme so the color of the strawberry stays fresh for longer. Strawberries also give a very vibrant color upon cooking. Fresh and frozen strawberries both work for this recipe. The only difference is cooking time. Frozen strawberries will melt as soon as it thaws in the pan. I prefer meshing instead of blending because it seems easier and a few strands of strawberries look lovely in the ice cream. If you love strawberries, you just can miss my strawberry jam, strawberry mousse with jello, and strawberry lemonade. Cream: The cream is the main ingredient. Use heavy cream or whipping cream that doubles upon whipping. Avoid over whipping and reaching the butter state. As soon as you see stiff peaks stop beating. Hand beaters are comparatively slow while stand mixers are super fast so be vigilant. Find useful information about types of cream at whatscookingamerica.net. Condense milk: This thickened condensed milk has very little water giving thickness to ice cream and sweetness too. Lemon: I like slightly tart strawberry ice cream but you can skip it for a sweeter taste. Red food color: Honestly, strawberries provide a lovely pink color naturally. So made it a point to add in the last step you can decide how much difference color can make. I add color to make it look store-bought and tempt my kids to eat some fruit. Butter paper or cling wrap: Icicles tend to form on the surface of ice cream made without an ice cream maker even if covered tightly. Covering the surface with butter paper or cling wrap can prevent this. Butter paper does a better job and is recommended.
How to make it?

Variations:
Chunky strawberry ice cream
Strawberry chunks tend to freeze in the ice cream. For this cut strawberries into smaller chunks and cook them for fewer minutes than mentioned in the recipe only until the strawberries are a little soft. This will release some water from strawberries that freeze in ice cream. Strawberry chunks will be softer without melting in ice cream. Obviously, do not use the potato masher and you’ll a chunky strawberry ice cream.
Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream
If you like to swirl then add little sugar while cooking strawberries. Skip adding strawberry syrup to cream and add some vanilla essence to make a white base. Then pour mashed strawberry over the ice cream container. Create swirls with a stick. And the result is thick creamy rich ice cream. Look at the thick creamy dribs in the picture above.
