#FantasticalFoodFight: Ice Cream

unnamed

Fantastical Food Fight has done it again, a food fight worthy of returning to my blog.

I’m laughing a little bit because my uncle teased me for blogging so much after declaring I was taking a break. (Thanks for being a true fan, Uncle Lar!)

The kids and I spent the end of June at Lake Geneva with my parents while my husband was doing a two week stint at the Pentagon. While on our trip, we went strawberry picking in Bristol. A lot of strawberries! We used those strawberries to make pie, sorbet, and no-churn ice cream.

Because I was at my mom’s house, sans ice cream maker, I had to go with a no-churn method for ice cream making. Luckily this food fight allows no-churn varieties of ice cream!

No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream

Ingredients:

  • 1 qt frozen strawberries
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pt heavy cream

Steps:

  1. Place a metal pan in the freezer to chill (we used a bundt pan!).
  2. Thaw strawberries 10-20 minutes.
  3. Place strawberries in a food processor and pulse until pea-sized. Add the condensed milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until combined.
  4. Using a hand mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks are formed.
  5. Fold 1 C of the whipped cream into the ice cream base then pour that into the remaining whipped cream until blended.
  6. Pour into the chilled pan and freeze 2-5 hours.

  1. So happy to be cooking with you again!! This looks like one decadent strawberry ice cream! Perfect choice!

  2. I hate the commercial strawberry flavoured ice creams but fresh home made ones are really delicious. Beautiful colour and am tempted to try out your recipe soon.

  3. Lauren! I can only dream about “picking strawberries” 🙂 The no-churn ice cream looks fabulous and what a lovely colour! Glad to have come across your blog through the event!

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m working on another post for the picked strawberries which will include photos of the event, so I hope you’ll be back soon to check it out!
