Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Mixture

  • 400g punnet strawberries
  • 250g tub mascarpone cheese
  • ½ can (approximately 198g) condensed milk

To Serve

  • Ice cream cones
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Remove the green hulls from the strawberries. If the strawberries are firm, cut them into halves or quarters using a table knife. Place the strawberries into a flat-bottomed dish.
  2. Mash Strawberries: Using a potato masher, thoroughly crush the strawberries until mostly mashed. Transfer the mashed strawberries into a mixing bowl. Ask for assistance if needed for safety and ease.
  3. Add Mascarpone: Add the mascarpone cheese to the mashed strawberries and gently mash together. It’s okay if the mixture remains a bit lumpy.
  4. Mix in Condensed Milk: Pour in the condensed milk and mix the ingredients together until combined. The mixture may appear streaky but that is normal.
  5. Freeze the Mixture: Spoon the combined mixture into a metal or plastic container suitable for freezing. Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  6. Serve: After freezing, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. Decorate with sprinkles or your preferred toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Riper strawberries mash more easily and enhance the ice cream’s flavor.
  • For younger children who cannot use knives safely, have an adult help with chopping or roughly chop the strawberries for them.
  • This recipe can be adapted by substituting strawberries with raspberries, ripe bananas, peeled peaches, or nectarines.
  • Use a metal or plastic container for freezing instead of glass to avoid breakage.
  • The mixture is not churned, so the texture will be creamier but may have small ice crystals.
