• A few drops of red or pink food coloring (optional, for color boost)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberry Flavoring:
If using fresh strawberries, puree about 1 cup of hulled berries in a blender until smooth. Strain for a smoother texture, if desired. You can also use a quality strawberry syrup or jam as a shortcut.

2. Whip the Cream:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3–4 minutes on high speed.

3. Fold in the Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Add the sweetened condensed milk, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and food coloring (if using) to the whipped cream. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the airiness.

4. Pour and Freeze:
Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set and scoopable.

5. Serve:
Once frozen, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your creamy strawberry ice cream — no machine, no fuss, just pure frozen joy!

Optional Mix-ins:

• Add mini white chocolate chips, chopped strawberries, or crushed cookies before freezing for extra texture and flavor.

Final Notes:
This homemade strawberry ice cream is smooth, sweet, and oh-so-satisfying. It’s perfect for beginners, busy parents, or anyone who wants to enjoy real ice cream without special equipment. Best of all, it’s endlessly customizable — try swapping the strawberries for mango, chocolate, or even matcha.
