About This Recipe

recipe details then instructions

You're about to make some flavor magic that money can't buy! I'm talkin' creamy, dreamy strawberry ice cream—and no ice cream maker needed! Seriously, this recipe is gonna rock your dessert world.

First, we're gonna roast those strawberries. Yep, roast 'em! It brings out all kinds of intense, jammy sweetness. Trust me, it's a game-changer. We're not using any fancy techniques – just a little love and your oven. Roasting fruit, like tender apples in a crumble, enhances their natural sweetness.

Next, get ready to whip. You'll need to whip your cream to stiff peaks. That's the secret to the perfect texture. Without stiff peaks, it won't be the no-churn ice cream that dreams are made of!

Finally, we're gonna fold everything together super gently. We don't wanna deflate all that lovely air we just whipped in. And then, freeze it up.

Ingredients Needed

ingredients and instructions summary

Let's gather what we need to whip up this cool treat! First, I need one kilogram—that's like 2 pounds—of ripe strawberries. Make sure you get the good ones—the ones that smell like summer!

Next, I'll grab one tablespoon of white sugar. Just your regular kind, nothing fancy. If you're feeling it, add one teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor—it's totally optional, though.

Now, for the creamy magic, I need one can of sweetened condensed milk. It should be about 395 grams (nearly 14 ounces) – that's the ingredient that makes this totally luscious, like no ice cream maker required! Make sure your pantry also has all-purpose flour available for other delicious elements of this recipe.

Lastly, I'm going to get two cups—or 500 milliliters—of full-fat cream. It's gotta be cream that whips; otherwise, it won't work. So yummy – can't wait for you to taste how good this is!

Step-by-Step Guide

step by step guide instructions follow

I'm now going to walk you through making this fantastic dessert, step-by-step, so you can easily follow along! First, roast your strawberries – preheat your oven to 320°F, toss 2 pounds of halved berries with a tablespoon of sugar, and roast 'em for an hour, rotating halfway. Don't let 'em burn!

Next, blitz those roasted berries in a food processor until smooth, scrape into a bowl, and cool. It's like making strawberry jam, but better!

Now, for the ice cream mixture: combine the cooled strawberry puree with a can of sweetened condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip 2 cups of cream separately until stiff peaks form – think fluffy clouds! Gently fold everything together until it's a pretty pink.

Freeze in an airtight container for at least 12 hours! Time to enjoy the work.

Tips & Variations

helpful suggestions and alternatives

Now, let's explore into some super cool tips and variations to really make this strawberry dream your own! First up, don't skimp on the roasting time—about 45 minutes, rotating halfway, and then another 15, guarantees maximum flavor. Trust me; it's worth it!

For extra zing, I sometimes toss in a tablespoon of lemon juice with the strawberries before roasting, it adds a delightful tang. Want to shake things up? Try different berries! I reckon blueberries or raspberries would be amazing.

If you're feeling adventurous, add a splash—about a teaspoon—of balsamic vinegar to the roasted strawberries before blitzing. It sounds weird, I know, but it boosts the strawberry flavor!
