Make creamy, homemade strawberry banana ice cream without an ice cream maker using a simple no-churn method.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: In a small bowl, gently mix the chopped strawberries and mashed bananas. Set aside.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Combine base: Gently fold the cold sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in fruit: Carefully fold in the mashed banana and strawberry mixture and the salt until streaks of fruit remain throughout the base.
  5. Freeze: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
  6. Chill: Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
  7. Serve: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker swirl, reserve about 1/4 cup of the fruit mixture and swirl it into the base just before the final freeze.
  • If you prefer a less sweet result, reduce the sweetened condensed milk by 1/4 cup, but this may slightly affect the final texture.
  • Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh for a colder initial mix, but thaw them slightly first.
