This homemade strawberry ice cream flavor is so intense it will blow your mind. And to top off how fantastic this frozen dessert is, it's also a no churn ice cream recipe. The consistency is creamy with no ice crystals plus there are chunks of ripe strawberries studding sweetened condensed milk ice cream scoops.
Ingredients for this recipe: Fresh or frozen strawberries (I used both), sugar, cornstarch, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract or strawberry liqueur, heavy whipping cream.

No Equipment for Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
This is a flavor you can't buy at a grocery store. It's special and it's exactly what we wanted, a special dessert to finish off our youngest son Reid and our oldest grandson Dawson's birthday.
And, may I say, that it was so well received that we now have orders for No Churn Butter Pecan, Oreo, Peach, Praline, Mint Chocolate Chip, Cookie Dough, Cinnamon Bun, so on and so on ice cream.
When our kids were young we had an electric ice cream maker. That poor machine churned out countless quarts of delicious ice cream.
Eventually, we wore it out. We didn't replace it since our kids were grown and gone. We didn't want an ice cream maker around to tempt us into making ice cream.
Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream tastes better than store bought.

📖 Recipe
No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries or 2 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned and stemmed**
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons juice from drained strawberries if using fresh strawberries use 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk) chilled in refrigerator.
- 3 tablespoon strawberry liqueur (optional) ***see notes
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream very cold ( chill your bowl and beaters also)
Instructions
- Place the frozen strawberries in a sieve over bowl to thaw and collect the juice. Once they are thawed, slice them and reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice. ( For fresh strawberries rinse and dry them. Cut off the leafy tops and slice in half.)
- Place the sliced berries with juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. ( Fresh strawberries will release juice as they cook). Sprinkle with sugar and mix. Allow the berries to cook until they soften about 5 minutes ( longer if using fresh berries)
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the juice (or water if using fresh berries) and add to the simmering strawberries. Stir and continue to cook until it thickens about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent the compote from burning. Remove from heat and place the sauce pot in ice water, taking care that water doesn't get into the pan, stir until it cools.
- Add the strawberry liqueur and put the sauce in the fridge to keep cold.
- Fit your electric mixer with the whisk attachment. In a medium size bowl whisk the sweetened condensed milk and strawberry compote until mixed. Keep cold.
- In your chilled bowl add the cold heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form when the whisk is lifted. Do not overheat or you'll get butter.
- With a silicone spatula fold in the strawberry mixture to the whipped cream. Mix together until well mixed.
- Pour into your freezer containers and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Store in Freezer.
- When ready to serve, take out of freezer for about 15 minutes. It does freeze hard but it is delicious.
Notes
- The strawberries are easier to slice if they are partially frozen.
- Make sure to chill the bowl and beaters.
- Cool the strawberry sauce completely before adding to condensed milk.
- Keep the milk and sauce cold while whipping the heavy cream.
- Don't overbeat the heavy whipping cream, you'll get butter.
