Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make homemade ice cream with strawberries? Prepare the products. Strawberries are suitable both fresh and frozen. Take the frozen one out of the freezer about 20 minutes before cooking, it's not scary if it's a little iced. Take the fattest cream, 33%, the others you just won't climb. Be sure to cool the cream before whipping!!! The amount of condensed milk is given an average, it can be put both more and less, to taste.
Step 2:
Wash the strawberries well under running cool water, remove the sepals. Put the berries on a paper towel and dry them. With frozen strawberries, skip this step.
Step 3:
Put the berries in a tall glass from a blender, pour powdered sugar into it. If you have other dishes, not a glass, then try to choose it with high sides, otherwise you risk staining the whole kitchen with strawberries.
Step 4:
With an immersion blender, whisk the strawberries with powdered sugar to a puree state. It's not scary if there are pieces of berries left, it will even be more interesting. For cooking, you will need 200 ml of strawberry puree. Out of 300 grams I got more, I added everything and did not regret it. On the contrary, for a more intense taste, you can increase the amount of strawberries.
Step 5:
Pour the cream into a large bowl. Start beating them with a mixer, first on small, then on medium speed. Beat the cream until it thickens, the blades of the mixer will begin to leave a clear trace on the surface.
Step 6:
Without stopping whipping, pour in the condensed milk. Stir it into the cream.
Step 7:
Here is such a thick mass should turn out in the end.
Step 8:
Add strawberry puree.
Step 9:
And turn on the mixer again. Stir the mixture until smooth.
Step 10:
The ice cream is ready, it remains only to freeze it. You can use special molds and spread the creamy mass over them. Or freeze it in a large container. I did so, covered it with a lid and put it in the freezer for the whole night. Since the ice cream is made from cream, it does not crystallize, so it does not need to be stirred during the freezing process.
Step 11:
In the morning, the ice cream will be completely ready. Take it out of the freezer and let it stand for a short time, 10 minutes will be enough. The ice cream will soften a little and it will be convenient to apply it with a special spoon, forming balls.
Step 12:
Serve the ice cream, garnished with berries and mint leaves. You can additionally sprinkle it with crushed nuts and chocolate. Bon appetit!
It turned out to be a very tasty creamy ice cream! Next time I will add more strawberries, 500 grams, the taste and color will be more intense.
How to whip cream properly? It is important that the cream is fat, at least 33%. The whipping dishes and the cream themselves should be cold, keep them in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. Beat with a mixer at minimum speed, gradually increasing the speed. How do I know if the cream is whipped enough? The creamy mass should retain its shape and not spread. At this point, stop whipping. Otherwise, the cream will turn into butter.
Cream should not be frozen before whipping — otherwise, during whipping, they will be stratified and a whey with butter will turn out! Buy only fresh chilled product for these purposes.
Choose high-quality, proven condensed milk. Without vegetable fats and food additives. The composition should contain only two ingredients: milk and sugar. As a result, the taste and quality of the finished dish will depend on the quality of condensed milk.
