Ingredients

▢ 1 1/4 cup very cold heavy whipping cream
▢ 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
▢ 1/2 cup (60 grams) freeze-dried strawberry powder, from about two 1.2-ounce containers
▢ 1/8 cup strawberry preserves (optional)
▢ 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Pulse the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder in a blender or food processor, reserving about 8 or 10 for garnish (optional).
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. When the splashing subsides and the mixture looks slightly thickened, add the strawberry powder and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
PRO TIP: Heavy cream whips better when very cold. Many pro pastry chefs chill their mixing bowls first, to keep the cream extra cold while whipping.
Pour the strawberry ice cream mixture into a standard loaf pan. Use a teaspoon to drop small dollops of strawberry jam all over the surface. Swirl it into the ice cream base a bit with a butter knife. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
Serve with the leftover freeze-dried strawberries or fresh strawberries to garnish.
Tip: Serve the ice cream right away from the freezer. This is a little more aerated than hard-packed ice cream, so will melt a little more quickly, like gelato.

Notes

The combination of cream and sweetened condensed milk whipped to soft peaks with vanilla and freeze-dried strawberry powder makes this an outstanding and fresh summer treat that takes only a few minutes to make.

Be sure to fully chill your no-churn strawberry ice cream before serving. I like to chill it for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
