A quick and easy homemade no-churn ice cream combining fresh strawberries, sweet biscuits, and creamy dairy for a nostalgic strawberry shortcake flavor without the fuss of traditional ice cream making.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 300 grams)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (65 grams)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled (480 ml)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 396 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shortcake biscuits, crumbled (about 120 grams)

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries by tossing them with 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to release juices.
  2. Whip the chilled heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. In a large bowl, gently stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy and light.
  5. Fold in the macerated strawberries with their juices and the crumbled shortcake biscuits, distributing evenly without overmixing.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  7. When ready to serve, scoop directly from the freezer and let sit for a couple of minutes to soften slightly for ideal creamy texture.

Notes

For extra texture, reserve some strawberry chunks and biscuit pieces to sprinkle on top before freezing. Let ice cream soften for 5 minutes at room temperature before serving for best scoopability. Use a metal pan to freeze faster. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and sweetened condensed coconut milk. Gluten-free option: use almond flour shortbread crumbs instead of biscuits.
