Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 600ml double cream
- 395g can condensed milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ lemon, zested and juiced
Ripple
- 200g soft-set strawberry jam
Instructions
- Whip the Double Cream: Using an electric whisk, beat the double cream until it holds its shape, forming soft peaks. This creates the creamy base for the ice cream and ensures a smooth texture.
- Incorporate Sweeteners and Flavorings: Continue whisking on a lower speed while gradually pouring in the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Slowly add the lemon zest and juice and mix gently to combine the citrus flavor evenly without deflating the cream.
- Prepare for Freezing: Transfer the mixture into a shallow baking tin or container that fits inside your freezer. This helps the ice cream freeze uniformly and makes it easier to scoop later.
- Add the Strawberry Jam Ripple: Drop teaspoon-sized blobs of strawberry jam across the surface of the mixture. Using a skewer, drag through the blobs gently to spread the jam into thin ripples throughout the ice cream base.
- Freeze: Cover the container and place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours until set. The ice cream will soften slightly at room temperature when ready to serve, offering a perfect texture without needing an ice cream maker.
Notes

- For a quick strawberry cheesecake version, stir in some beaten soft cheese, crushed digestives, and extra strawberry jam into softened ripple ice cream, then refreeze before serving.
