A rich, velvety no-churn ice cream featuring caramelized roasted strawberries for a deep, sweet flavor. Easy to make with simple ingredients and no ice cream machine required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Hull and halve 1 pound (450g) of fresh strawberries. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Lightly dust the strawberries with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar.
  4. Roast the strawberries in the oven for about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  5. Remove from the oven and transfer the berries and their juices to a bowl. Let cool completely to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  6. In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups (480ml) of heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3–5 minutes).
  7. In another bowl, stir together 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  8. Fold the cooled roasted strawberries and their juices into the condensed milk mixture along with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice gently.
  9. Fold in the whipped cream gently until just combined, keeping the mixture airy.
  10. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  11. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

If icy spots form during freezing, stir gently halfway through freezing to keep it creamy. Do not skip the lemon juice as it brightens the flavor without sourness. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with canned coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk. Roasting strawberries intensifies flavor and adds caramel notes.
