Make creamy, homemade strawberry banana ice cream without an ice cream maker using this 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 or frozen strawberries, chopped
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed well

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently mix the cold sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
  3. Fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it.
  4. Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and mashed bananas until they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe loaf pan or airtight container.
  7. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
  8. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

  • For easier mixing, ensure your bananas are very ripe and mashed smoothly.
  • If using fresh strawberries, chop them into small pieces before folding them in.
  • For a slightly firmer texture, freeze the mixture for 1 hour before adding the fruit, then continue freezing.
