Strawberry Marshmallow Pie Ice Cream
Description
The ice cream base starts by cooking chopped strawberries with sugar until saucy and juicy, creating a fresh strawberry component with some texture. This puree is cooled and folded into whipped heavy cream mixed with sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for balance.
Marshmallow cream adds a creamy sweetness and light texture while crushed graham crackers folded in give a crunchy element similar to pie crust. After mixing, the ice cream is frozen for at least six hours to firm up with some crushed marshmallow and crackers swirled on top for added texture.
This treat is ideal as a summery dessert or when you want a frozen dessert without an ice cream maker. It can be sliced or scooped and enjoyed on its own or with additional fresh berries.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries chopped
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream cold
- ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- ¾ cup marshmallow cream
- 8 graham crackers smashed, whole
Instructions
- Place the strawberries and the sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to combine and then let the strawberries cook until they are saucy and juicy, stirring often, about 8 to 10 minutes. You can mash some of the berries as you go! Essentially you want a somewhat chunky strawberry sauce. You can also blend the mixture if you’d like it smooth. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool completely.
- Place the heavy cream in a bowl and beat it with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the condensed milk, vanilla and salt. Beat with the electric mixer for another 1 to 2 minutes until combined. Beat in the cooled strawberry puree. Fold in the marshmallow cream. Fold in the crushed graham crackers.
- Pour the mixture in a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a freezer proof ice cream container. Stir in some marshmallow cream and crushed graham crackers on top. Cover.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours before scooping and serving. After the initial set in the freezer, this does get a bit hard to scoop, so I’d suggest removing it about 20 minutes or so before you’d like to scoop it!
