No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream is a really easy dessert to make at home without an ice cream maker with fresh strawberries, heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar and condensed milk.
I have two summer go-to fruits. One is watermelon (obviously) and the other is strawberries. My family LOVES fresh strawberries! They are juicy, sweet and slightly sour. Perfect to eat alone or toss into recipes like this No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream that will cool you off on a hot summer day.

Tips and Tricks
Stiff Peak
The instructions tell you to beat heavy whipping cream to a stiff peak. What does this mean? You will use a hand or stand mixer to beat the cream for 6+ minutes until the liquid thickens up. The cream is done when you are able to lift the beaters out of the cream and it stands straight up without curling or falling over.
Strawberries
You will want to use ripe strawberries. Even strawberries that are a bit overripe are ideal. Remove the stems, wash and chop the strawberries before adding into a food processor with a little sugar. I like to use the pulse button to basically make a strawberry sauce but you can also just hit pulse a couple times and have some tiny strawberry chunks left in if you enjoy some chunks in your ice cream. This ice cream is on the sweeter side so you can also choose to reduce the granulated sugar amount to align with your personal sweetness level.
