    What does no-churn ice cream mean?

    No-churn Ice cream means that an ice cream maker is not required to make the recipe. Basically making homemade ice cream without a machine. Whipping the cream with a handheld mixer allows air into the mixture making it light and creamy. Perfect if you have a small kitchen with little storage. So no need to invest in an ice cream maker to enjoy delicious homemade ice cream.

    Strawberry dessert recipes

    I got inspired to make this recipe on a beautiful hot summer's day, right in the middle of the strawberry season when they were just perfect to use in my tasty summer desserts.

    As I did not have an ice cream maker and wanted a recipe that didn't take too long to make, Other than having to wait patiently for it to set. I recommend leaving it to set in the freezer for 6-8 hours. I usually make it the day before and leave it in the freezer overnight.

I would always advise checking the ingredients label to be sure it is gluten free. This no-churn strawberry ice cream recipe is gluten free and egg free.

    Using condensed milk is the best ingredient to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency without the need for an ice cream maker or having to whisk the ice cream mixture for a long time. Ice cream with condensed milk is quick and easy to make.
