Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe strawberries chopped
  • 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (1 pint) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Rinse the strawberries well, then chop the tops off and cut them in half or give them a rough chop.

  • Add the strawberries to a high-powered blender along with the rest of the ingredients for the strawberry ice cream (sweetened condensed milk, heavy whipping cream, a pinch of sea salt, and vanilla extract if adding). Blend just until everything is combined. Avoid over-mixing as too much blending can cause small bubbles to get into the mixture, which turn into little ice crystals and cause the ice cream to have a slightly grainy texture.

  • Transfer the strawberry ice cream base to a freezer-safe container (or a bread loaf pan). Seal and freeze for 6 hours, or until the ice cream has completely set up.

Notes

If you own an ice cream maker, feel free to use it following the manufacturer's instructions.
If you don't own a blender or a food processor, you can mash the strawberries using a potato masher, then blend everything together in a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer.
