Strawberry seems like such a simple ice cream flavor, but when it’s made with fresh berries the store-bought stuff doesn’t compare with what you can make at home! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This easy homemade ice cream is infused with strawberry flavor two ways. First, you’ll puree one pound of fresh strawberries then reduce it down on the stove. To really drive home the fresh strawberry flavor, there’s also a little strawberry extract in the ice cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can top this no-churn strawberry ice cream with chocolate magic shell<\/a> or hot fudge sauce<\/a> to take this frozen treat into chocolate-covered strawberry<\/a> territory, or drizzle over some strawberry sauce<\/a> for even more fresh berry flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Strawberries:<\/strong> Strawberries don’t ripen after they’ve been picked, so make sure to pick some that are bright red in color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Strawberry Extract: <\/strong>This is optional, but it does help to really enhance the strawberry flavor in the ice cream. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: <\/strong>Is thick and creamy in texture. Don’t confuse it with evaporated milk; they’re not the same! <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Vanilla Extract: <\/strong>Pure vanilla extract will deliver the best flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Heavy Whipping Cream: <\/strong>Should be at least 36% fat. It needs to be whipped to stiff peaks, so an alternative like half and half will not work in this recipe. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Salt: <\/strong>Enhances the strawberry flavor. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Red Food Coloring: <\/strong>Optional, but it makes the ice cream more vibrant in color. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          Can this recipe be made with frozen strawberries? <\/strong>

          Yes, you may use frozen strawberries. Let them thaw completely and discard any excess liquid before pureeing, then proceed with the recipe as written. <\/p> <\/div>

          Can chopped strawberries be added to the ice cream? <\/strong>

          If you like strawberry chunks in your ice cream, feel free to finely chop up a few fresh strawberries and fold them into the ice cream. <\/p> <\/div>

          Can the strawberry extract be omitted? <\/strong>

          Yes, you may omit the strawberry extract. I like to add 1 teaspoon of strawberry extract to my ice cream for an even stronger strawberry flavor, but the recipe works well without it too. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Don’t skip reducing the strawberry puree! This will remove a lot of moisture and prevent your ice cream from turning out icy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • To speed up the cooling process, you may place the strawberry puree in the fridge. Do not add the puree to the ice cream while it’s still warm, otherwise the whipped cream will melt. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If you like the flavor of chocolate and strawberries, feel free to fold in some mini chocolate chips before you pour it into the loaf pan! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
