Brown Sugar. Brown sugar gives my cookies a chewy texture.

Heavy cream. this is what makes your ice cream supper creamy. You can not replace this.

Sweetened Condensed Milk. this gives your ice cream the perfect sweetness.

Strawberries. I like to puree them and then still add a few extra diced chunks of strawberries.

No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream

• In a food processor blend your strawberries until they are pureed. 
• In the bowl of a stand mixer add your heavy cream and whip on high until soft peaks form.
• In a large bowl combine your Sweetened condensed milk, salt, vanilla and strawberry puree and whisk until combined.
• Then fold in your whipped cream until combined. 
• Place ice cream into a loaf pan and freeze over night or for at least 8 hours
• Scoop One large or two small scoops of ice cream on the bottom of every other cookie. Then top each with another cookies. Lightly squeeze together

• Serve immediately or freeze the rest. Enjoy!

Expert Tips

1. when whisking your heavy cream, do NOT over whip it. You want soft or medium peaks NOT stiff peaks. It is gets to stiff peaks then it starts the process of turning into butter which will leave an oily texture to your ice cream.
2. Fold in your whipped cream, DO NOT mix it in. If you fold it in it will leave the air in the cream.
3. Line your cookie sheet with Parchment paper to get the perfect bottoms on each cookie

FAQ

1. Do I have to wait 8 hours before I can eat it? If you do not want ice cream soup than yes.
2. Do I need an ice cream machine? NO, just a bowl and a whisk!
3. Do I have to chill my cookie dough? Yes in order to get thick cookies!

Freezing and Storing

Store your cookies and ice cream separate and only assemble them once ready to eat. Store ic cream in the freeze wrapped up and store your cookies wrapped up in the fridge.
