Berry No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by whipping cold heavy cream until firm peaks form, then folding in condensed milk for sweetness and creaminess. A mixture of fresh blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and trimmed strawberries is cooked gently with lemon juice, vanilla, and sugar until thickened and slightly chunky, then chilled.
The berry mixture is carefully folded into the ice cream base, reserving some for swirling on top before transferring to a metal loaf pan. The ice cream is frozen for six hours until firm, resulting in a creamy, scoopable dessert showcasing bursts of berry flavor and hints of lemon and vanilla.
This no-churn method makes ice cream accessible without special equipment and allows customization with any fresh or wild berries. The final ice cream is enjoyable served in waffle cones or bowls.
The ice cream maintains quality in the freezer for up to three months when stored in an airtight container.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 14- ounce sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup Blueberry blackberries, raspberries and trimmed strawberries, fresh, each
