About the recipe
Strawberry ice cream recipe is one of my favourite homemade ice cream recipes, especially during spring and summer when fresh strawberries are easily available in the market (April to July – the perfect season for strawberries). I at least prepare this decadent ice cream recipe once every year without any second thought. This homemade strawberry ice cream reciper tastes way better than market-bought ones and is healthy too because no artificial food colour, essence, or preservatives are added to the homemade strawberry ice cream. The best part is, it is neither a churn ice cream recipe nor a custard-based ice cream.
Yes, that’s true. Many people think ice cream cannot be prepared without an ice cream maker and so they never attempt to prepare ice cream recipes at home. Ice cream makers are not frequently used equipment, unlike mixer grinders in the kitchen. So, most people do not have an ice cream maker at home. This homemade strawberry ice cream could be a perfect example for those who have never imagined an ice cream without an ice cream maker.
Secondly, because it is a no-cook ice cream recipe, so you don’t need to stand in front of the gas during this summer to prepare the custard. Custard-based ice creams are very delicate and must be handled with care. Either you need to transfer the custard into the ice cream maker and prepare it as per the instructions provided or you need to beat the custard with a hand mixer every hour after removing it from the freezer until it freezes completely. According to me, a no-cook ice cream recipe is much easier than a classic custard-based ice cream and is a perfect recipe for the novice.
This strawberry ice cream recipe is quite easy and fun to prepare. In fact, older kids can participate in preparing this divine under an adult’s supervision. It is an easy ice cream recipe that is prepared with four simple ingredients and gets ready within 15 minutes. It just requires enough time to get set into the freezer. After that, you can have it anytime and anywhere. All the ingredients required to prepare the strawberry ice cream at home are easily available in any supermarket.

Frequently asked Questions
What is no-churn ice cream?
Many people are not familiar with the term no churn. Simply no churn means no ice cream maker. In short, the ice cream that is prepared without using an ice cream maker or ice cream machine is a no-churn ice cream.
What is custard-based ice cream?
A custard-based ice cream is a cooked ice cream recipe where you need to prepare a thin and uniform custard using milk, cream, sugar, and either corn-starch or egg yolk. Many people use custard powder too instead of egg yolk or corn starch. This process is a little bit more complex than a no-cook ice cream. Many factors like temperature of cooking, thickness of custard, duration of cooking, etc. need to be taken care of precisely to prepare the custard-based ice cream.
What type of equipment is required to prepare this no-churn strawberry ice cream?
We don’t require too fancy equipment to prepare this no-cook ice cream recipe. You just need a hand mixer to whip the cream. No ice cream machine is required for the recipe.
Can I use frozen strawberries for the ice cream?
Yes, frozen strawberries can also be used for the recipe. When juicy strawberries are easily available in the market, I always cut and preserve them in the freezer in zip-lock pouches to enjoy different ranges of strawberry dessert recipes when it’s out of season.
How to store the strawberry ice cream?
After getting set, the strawberry ice cream can be stored in the freezer for 1-2 months in an airtight container. In case you want to restore any leftover portions, remember to close the container properly before putting it back in the freezer.
How to make Strawberry ice cream at home
To prepare the strawberry ice cream recipe no eggs, first hull strawberries and keep them in a mixing bowl. Now mash the strawberries with the help of a potato masher. Add some sugar and mix it with the strawberry pulp so that it can release juice.
Take a large mixing bowl and pour the chilled double cream into it. It is important to take a large bowl to beat the cream because it increases to double its volume after beating.
Start whipping the cream at low speed initially with a hand mixer. Then increase the speed to medium and whip the cream until the cream becomes heavy and medium peaks occur. For me, it took around 3-4 minutes to get the perfect texture of the cream. But be careful after 2 minutes and keep your eyes on the cream. Don’t overbeat the cream or else the texture of the cream may become a little bit grainy.
Add condensed milk, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Then mix it evenly with a hand mixer at medium speed. Be delicate at this stage and don’t over-mix it.
Now add the strawberry pulp into the mixing bowl. Then with the help of a rubber spatula, mix all together and make an even mixture. Be delicate and mix all the ingredients without deflating the cream.
After this, pour the mixture into a dry and clean airtight container and close the lid tightly. Then transfer the tub into the freezer for at least 6-7 hours. If you like soft scoops, then 4 hours of refrigeration is enough.
