Description
Strawberry ice cream is a perfect summertime treat for both adults and kids. This is a no-churn and no eggs recipe with only four ingredients. It is very easy to make in either small or big batch. If you are willing to give that little extra time to cook the fresh strawberries with sugar, it is a no-fail project that you will be happy with the end result. Cooking the strawberries adds that extra burst of flavor with every bite.
Ingredients
Strawberries- 3 cups
Sugar- 1 1/2 cups
Cream cheese- 8 ounces
Heavy whipping creme- 2 cups
Instructions
1. Add 3 cups of fresh cut strawberries to a pan. Set the heat to medium-high.
2. Add 1 1/2 cups of sugar and stir it.
3. Sugar dissolves and is runny at the beginning.
4. Continue to stir. The mixture becomes frothy and bubbly.
5. After cooking for about 7 to 8 minutes, sauce reduces to half the quantity and is less runny.
6. Refrigerate the sauce until it is ready to use.
7. Add 8 ounces of cream cheese and blend it well with a blender. Make sure that there are no lumps of cheese left behind. Keep this aside
8. Take 2 cups of heavy whipping cream in a chilled bowl and whip it until soft peaks form.
9. Fold the whipped heavy cream into strawberry and cream cheese mixture. Do not over mix as it may alter the consistency of the ice cream.
10. Transfer the ice cream to a 9 x 4 pan and freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
11. Ready to serve with some fresh strawberries and mint.
Notes
1. This is a no-churn recipe so we have to be careful in whipping the cream to the right consistency to incorporate enough air into the ice cream.
2. Sugar can be reduced or substituted for another type of sugar or zero-calorie sweeteners.
3. The cream cheese gives a rich flavor to this recipe. It can be substituted with another type of fresh soft cheese like mascarpone, ricotta, etc.
4. This recipe works well with frozen strawberries too.
