Description

This Easy Strawberry Ice Cream recipe is a simple, no-cook dessert perfect for using ripe strawberries. With just a few ingredients like mascarpone and condensed milk, you can make a creamy, fruity treat that’s great for kids and adults alike. Serve it in cones or bowls with sprinkles for a delightful homemade ice cream experience without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 400g punnet strawberries

Dairy

  • 250g tub mascarpone

Other

  • ½ x 397g can condensed milk (approximately 200g)
  • cones and sprinkles, to serve

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberries: Pull out the green hulls from the strawberries. If the strawberries are quite firm, cut them into halves or quarters using a table knife to make them easier to mash. Place the prepared strawberries into a flat-bottomed dish.
  2. Mash the strawberries: Use a potato masher to crush the strawberries as much as possible until they have a soft, pulpy consistency. Transfer the mashed strawberries into a mixing bowl. If needed, ask for help from an adult for this step.
  3. Add mascarpone: Add the tub of mascarpone cheese to the mashed strawberries. Mash and fold it in; it’s okay if the mixture appears a bit lumpy.
  4. Incorporate condensed milk: Pour in the condensed milk and mix everything thoroughly. The mixture may look streaky at this stage, which is normal.
  5. Freeze the mixture: Spoon the combined mixture into a metal or plastic container suitable for freezing. Place it in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to develop an ice cream-like texture.
  6. Serve: When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and decorate with your favorite sprinkles or toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe strawberries for easier mashing and a sweeter flavor.
  • If children cannot cut the strawberries safely, roughly chopping them beforehand helps.
  • You can substitute strawberries with other ripe fruits like raspberries, peeled bananas, peaches, or nectarines.
  • This recipe doesn’t require an ice cream maker, making it a simple and fun dessert to prepare.
  • For a dairy-free version, try swapping the mascarpone and condensed milk with suitable vegan alternatives.
