Strawberry No-Churn Ice Cream
I love ice cream! Just about every evening I get to craving the milky sweet goodness of a bowl of ice cream. And, with strawberries, ice cream all the better. Ice cream is the perfect ending to a summer dinner. But, I don’t always have ice cream on-hand in the freezer. That’s why this Strawberry No-churn Ice Cream recipe is the perfect option for a summer dessert idea. Oh, who am I kidding, it’s a great idea any time of the year!
Maybe I enjoy ice cream so much because it reminds me of my childhood. My dad was always doing little acts of love for his four children. One of those was ice cream treats. Sometimes, it was stopping at the ice cream shop when we were out and about. And, other times it was keeping a quart or two in the freezer for an anytime treat.
I think it’s a good idea to include desserts in meal planning a couple of times a week. It makes the kids happy, and we all need a little something sweet from time to time, don’t we?
And, ice cream is an uncomplicated dessert that doesn’t need a lot of prep work. Your kids will love it any day of the week.

Once you have the strawberries puréed you will need to whip the heavy cream. You can use a hand mixer, or a stand mixer. I love using my KitchenAid to whip cream, it’s so fast!
This recipe reminds me so much of the fresh homemade ice cream we’d have for family reunions and church potlucks when I was growing up. The creamy cold goodness will cool you off on hot summer days with that just the right amount of sweetness.
