Easy Homemade Ice Cream

This No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream is all sorts of amazing! To be honest, I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out when I was putting it together – the ingredient list is very simple, but the balsamic vinegar just seemed out of place.

Rest assured I wouldn’t be sharing this recipe with you if it was absolutely delicious. And not to sound too cliche, but it was totally love at first bite!

The balsamic vinegar doesn’t taste like vinegar, in fact, it actually brings out the strawberries like you’ve never tasted! The flavor is deep, sweet, creamy, and wonderful.

I’m certain you’ll never go back to store-bought strawberry ice cream after this, especially when you see how easy it is to make at home!

My husband is not a fan of the famous Bear Lake Raspberry Shakes that you can buy all summer at Bear Lake. It seems shocking, I know, but he’s never liked them. He didn’t think he would like this ice cream either…but when he tasted it he used words like: Surprised. Wow. Amazing.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Let me show you how easy it is to make! For the printable version of this recipe, please scroll to the bottom. First, let’s start with the ingredients you’ll want to gather.

• Heavy whipping cream
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Salt
• Strawberries
• Sugar
• Balsamic vinegar

How To Make Homemade Ice Cream

Prep – Before you start on the ice cream, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. You’ll also want to line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Strawberries – Next, cut the strawberries into quarters and then combine them with the sugar, and balsamic. Spread them into a single layer on your cookie sheet and roast the strawberries for about 35 minutes.

Puree – Allow the strawberries to completely cool before mashing or pureeing the strawberries. Make sure you collect all the juices from the pan.

Mix – Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then, add the sweetened condensed milk and dash of salt (if using) to the bowl and mix until everything has combined. Finally, you’ll fold in the whipped cream and prepared berries (including juices).

Freeze – Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container (I used a 9×5 bread pan). Cover the ice cream really well and freeze it for at least 6 hours.

Recipe Tips

• Extra Flavor – If you get a wild hair, try adding 1/2 tsp vanilla. Like the salt, it’s totally optional. It’s great either way though, so go with your mood!
• Make It Chunky – I wanted to have small strawberry chunks in my ice cream, so I started out by mashing the roasted berries. The chunks were still bigger than I wanted, so I pulsed them in my blender a few times, and they were perfect!
• Why Balsamic – The strawberries do not taste like balsamic vinegar. The vinegar just deepens the flavor and adds something amazing.
• Freezing – Any freezer-safe container will work: bread pan, glass or ceramic baking dish, plastic storage container, etc.
