Instructions

Step 1

Thaw the strawberries, blend them with an immersion blender, and cook for a few minutes to evaporate excess liquid. Let them cool.

Whip the heavy cream well, then add the sweetened condensed milk and strawberry puree. Mix thoroughly.

Pour the mixture into a mold and place it in the freezer for 5 hours. Stir the mixture every hour.

🌾 Gluten-Free: Luckily, this recipe is already gluten-free! Just make sure all your ingredients are certified gluten-free.

Faq

Do I need to thaw the strawberries before blending?
Yes, thawing the strawberries will make them easier to blend and ensure a smoother puree.
What if I don't have an immersion blender?
You can use a regular blender or even a food processor to blend the strawberries.
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones?
Absolutely! Fresh strawberries work just as well, just ensure to wash and hull them first.
How can I tell if my heavy cream is whipped enough?
The cream should form stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted. It should be fluffy but not overwhipped to the point of becoming butter.
How often should I stir the mixture in the freezer?
Stirring every hour prevents ice crystals from forming, giving you a smoother texture.
Can I add other flavors to the mixture?
Yes! Feel free to experiment by adding a splash of vanilla extract or even a hint of lemon zest for some extra zing.
