Whether you’re serving it at a backyard BBQ or just need a sweet treat after dinner, this recipe is refreshingly easy and full of that sweet strawberry flavor we all love.

🍨 Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream

✨ Instructions

  1. Blend it up:
    In a blender or mixer, combine strawberries, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.

  2. Whip the cream:
    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (you can use a hand mixer, stand mixer, or even a whisk if you're ambitious!).

  3. Fold and freeze:
    Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined.

  4. Pour and freeze:
    Pour into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth out the top.
    Cover and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

  5. Scoop and enjoy:
    Once frozen, scoop it into a bowl or cone and enjoy every creamy, fruity bite!
