No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream

Are you looking for an ultra easy ice cream that doesn’t require and ice cream maker!! Then no churn ice cream is your solution!

I love, love, love ice cream and consider myself an ice cream snob. I would make homemade ice cream for special occasions and I would always make an egg custard base for my ice cream.

Well, that takes time and you have to be careful not to scramble the eggs.

Plus there is the churning time and if you don’t have an ice cream maker you can’t even make it.

That’s where no churn ice cream saves the day. It doesn’t require any cooking and you don’t need an ice cream maker!

It still turns out creamy, sweet, and smooth. It’s perfect for scooping into a bowl or a cone. And best of all you don’t have to wait for summer to enjoy homemade ice cream!

Easy homemade strawberry ice cream!

I don’t know about you but I can never turn down ice cream even if it’s below freezing outside.

It’s my all time favorite dessert! Especially when topped with all the toppings!

Now you are probably asking how on earth does this no churn thing work? Well, with traditionally churned ice cream you make a cooked custard base and let it cool.

When cooled it is churned. Churning helps to incorporate air making the ice cream creamy and it also breaks up ice crystals making it smooth.

In no churn ice cream the sweetened condensed milk replaces the creamy custard base and the whipped cream replaces the churning.

And it still results in a creamy and smooth ice cream! Genius!!

So go ahead and give this yummy cool treat a try and let me know how you like it!!
