Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
Egg-free and creamy-licious Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream. So easy to make and no need to use an ice cream maker!
Oh, summer! Nothing beats the summer heat as deliciously as ice cream does! I have never heard or met anyone who hates ice cream, at least in my personal circle.
Whoever has thought of freezing sweet cream is a true genius. The whole world, I am sure, is truly thankful! My family and I certainly are. 🙂
So when fresh organic strawberries were on sale, I told myself, it’s time to make some yummy Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream and here it is.
There were no eggs involved in the making of this ice cream and it’s super easy to make. All you need is one bowl and a whisk (and an ice cream maker, if you have one!) to make this amazing ice cream.
I have also included instructions on how to make this ice cream without an ice cream maker so it certainly can be made by hand!
Enjoy this lovely dessert all summer through and beyond! I guarantee, like many others, you’d be so happy you made this!
It’s so delicious, easy to make and totally – EGG-FREE! So, no worries about having to make a custard first – isn’t that amazing?
Depending on the size of your ice cream maker, you can either make the lesser one or the full recipe as indicated. I made the full recipe and though the ice cream reached the top of the container it didn’t really overflow while churning.

Don’t let summer end without making this!
Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1½ cup up to 2 cups pureed fresh Strawberries
- ¾ cup up to 1 cup Half and Half or whole (full-fat) milk
- 1 ½ cups Heavy Cream
- ⅔ cup granulated Sugar
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 1½ tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Wash, clean and hull the strawberries and then puree in a food processor until smooth or to your liking (you may want a few bits here and there for texture). I try to just turn it into a smooth puree as some pieces can turn into ice crystals because of the water content but if you’re not bothered by that just pulse it away to your preference.
- Combine the half and half, heavy cream, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix using a wire whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the pureed strawberries and vanilla.
WITH AN ICE CREAM MAKER
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instruction. I usually churn it for about 20 minutes on mine.
WITHOUT AN ICE CREAM MAKER
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe bowl and cover. I use a metallic mixing bowl and cover it with foil. Place in the freezer.
- Take the bowl out every 30 minutes thereafter (for at least 3 hours) and stir the ice cream using either a whisk or a handheld blender or beater. It is necessary to do this to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze the ice cream overnight or until hard.

My 5-year old just decided she likes strawberries. 🙂 I'm thinking this will be a good way to test that declaration. 😉 Pinned – thanks!
Oh, I hope she likes it as much as my kids do. Thanks for stopping by Nemitz. 🙂
Omgoodness! This is amazing. But I used swerve instead of real sugar because of issues with sugar. Didn’t hurt it at all. Yummy
So glad to know you can make this with sweetener, too!! Yay! Thanks for trying and letting us know. 🙂
So amazingly creamy and easy! Thrilled
So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

Thank you so much Chris! You totally made my day! I appreciate the kind feedback! We just made this the other day and it’s truly so good! Will make it often this summer!
Omg. My daughter replaced the sugar with Monfruit sweetener and it STILL was amazing.
So glad to know that Leticia! Thanks for letting us know! Yay!
How many quarts of ice cream does the recipe make as written?
I can’t remember now exactly – I go more for servings and this should be good for at least 6-8 people depending on how much ice cream each one eats.
