chopped strawberries & no churn ice cream
Imagine ripe red strawberries chopped & sugared w/ a shot of orange liqueur & chocolate flakes immersed in a creamy whipped cream mix... no churning required!
ingredients:
- 400 g 1 can sweetened condensed milk (i. e. concentrated milk w/ lots of sugar)
- 250 g whipping cream
- 250 g strawberries cleaned, hulled, chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 50 g dark chocolate flakes
- 2-3 tbsp orange liqueur
equipment:
- an electric handheld mixer
- a container about 1300 ml fit for the freezer
how to:
on the evening before:
- Clean & hull & chop the strawberries, add sugar & put in the fridge.
next day:
- Scrape the vanilla pod & add to the condensed milk; whip the mess w/ an egg whip.
- Whip the whipping cream w/ your electric handheld mixer until stiff.
- Combine w/ the condensed milk.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries & all the strawberry juice from sitting in the fridge overnight.
- Add the orange liqueur & the dark chocolate flakes.
- Pour the mess in a container fit for the freezer & freeze.
- After about 2 h stir the mess; the strawberry bits as well as the chocolate flakes like to meet on the bottom - so care for a mix.
- After another 2 h just do the same.
- The ice cream should be ready after about 6-7 h - or even earlier!
Notes
Prep Time: It doesn’t include the time for marinating the strawberries w/ sugar to free delicious strawberry juices.
Cook Time: It’s the time in the freezer - maybe somewhat earlier, maybe somewhat longer.
1000 ml: it becomes something like 1000 ml; so take care of having a container of about 1300 ml or even more to be able to stir the ice cream properly.
The ice cream is really creamy & soft after about 6 h. When resting in the freezer any longer the ice cram will get rather firm. So think of taking the ice cream out of the freezer about 10 min before serving.
