Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Strawberries 1 ½ cups or 225 grams
  • 8 ounces Blueberries 1 ½ cups or 225 grams
  • 1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 (14-ounce can) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Wash the STRAWBERRIES and BLUEBERRIES and remove the stems.
  • Place in the food processor and blend until pureed.
    Note: If you prefer fruit pieces in your ice cream, stop the processor when it's coarsely chopped, remove about 1 cup, and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK, VANILLA EXTRACT, and PUREED FRUIT until well-combined and set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whip the HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Gently fold this into the fruit mixture, taking care not to deflate the cream.
  • Transfer the ice cream mixture into the freezer storage container and smooth out the surface.
  • Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze on a flat surface for 6 hours, or until firm.
  • To serve, rest the ice cream at least 30 minutes at room temperature for optimal texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the heavy whipping cream is very cold before you start. This helps it whip up faster and get fluffier.
  • Fold the whipped cream gently with the fruit mixture to keep the mixture light and airy.
  • Tightly cover the ice cream with plastic wrap to help prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • Wait at least 6 hours for the ice cream to freeze completely. I find it's easiest to leave it overnight.
  • If the ice cream is too hard to scoop when serving, continue resting it as room temperature, checking it at 15-minute intervals.
