Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

1 x 400g punnet strawberries
1 x 250g tub mascarpone
½ x 397g can condensed milk

Toppings (optional)

Cones
Sprinkles

Instructions

Prepare Strawberries: Pull the green hulls out of the strawberries. If they are still quite hard, cut them into halves or quarters with a table knife. Place them into a flat-bottomed dish.
Mash Strawberries: Use a potato masher to squash the strawberries as much as possible. Transfer the mashed strawberries into a mixing bowl. Ask for assistance if needed.
Add Mascarpone: Add the tub of mascarpone to the mashed strawberries and continue mashing to mix. It’s okay if the mixture remains a bit lumpy.
Mix in Condensed Milk: Pour in half of the can of condensed milk and mix everything thoroughly. The mixture may be streaky, which is normal.
Freeze the Mixture: Spoon the mixture into a metal or plastic container suitable for freezing. Place it in the freezer and let it set for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
Serve: Once fully frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and decorate with sprinkles as desired. Enjoy your homemade strawberry ice cream!

Notes

Use ripe strawberries for easier mashing and sweeter flavor.
If you have difficulty cutting strawberries, roughly chop them instead.
Alternative fruits like raspberries, ripe bananas, peeled peaches, or nectarines can be used for different flavors.
Ensure to freeze the ice cream base completely before serving for the best texture.
