What You Need:

What you’ll need to whip up this delicious homemade ice cream is:

2.5 cups, or 500 milliliters mascarpone cheese

around two-thirds of a cup, or 150 grams mixed milk

This is equivalent to around 3/4 cup, or 100 grams. strawberries, diced into little pieces

PREPARATION:

Make sure the whipped cream is chilled before you start preparing the ingredients. Before you start, you may chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours. In addition, after washing, remove the stems and cut the strawberries into little pieces.

To get firm peaks, beat the cold whipped cream in a large mixing basin. Your mixer’s speed will determine how long this process takes.

Toss in the condensed milk with a spatula when the whipped cream has reached room temperature. To avoid changing the texture of the finished product, be cautious not to deflate the whipped cream to an extreme.

Toss in the chopped strawberries once the condensed milk has been thoroughly mixed with the whipped cream. To get a well-rounded flavor, sprinkle them uniformly throughout the mixture.

In a freezer-safe container, make sure the lid fits snugly before transferring the ice cream mixture. To make it even, use a spatula to smooth down the top.

The ice cream should be allowed to freeze for at least six hours, or ideally all night, after placing the container in the freezer. Then it may set up and have that velvety consistency.

Savor the Delight: Pour the ice cream into serving dishes or ice cream cones once it has frozen completely. For an extra decadent touch, top with some chocolate sauce or more fresh strawberries.

Tips & Tricks for the Kitchen

Texture: Puree the strawberries before mixing them with the whipped cream and condensed milk if you like a smoother texture. The ice cream will turn out smoother and more consistent all around as a result.

Variations: Feel free to experiment with other variations of mix-ins, including chocolate chips, almonds, or crumbled cookies. Be careful not to overmix by folding them in too lightly.

Variations in Flavor: Strawberries are a traditional fruit for homemade ice cream, but you can get creative by adding raspberries, blues, or even peaches for a different taste profile.

Low-Carb and Keto Alternatives

Here are some alternatives that people on low-carb or ketogenic diets can use:

Make your own whipped cream with heavy whipping cream and a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia.

Condensed Milk: Look for a low-carb substitute for regular condensed milk or whip up a batch at yourself by heating heavy cream and a keto-friendly sweetener until it thickens.

Fruit: For a simpler, lower-carb ice cream recipe, use berries or other low-carb fruits sparingly.

With only a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a delicious batch of homemade ice cream. A rich and decadent dessert is within your reach when you follow this easy recipe.
