Ingredients
Scale
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
2 ripe bananas, mashed
Instructions
In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
Gently fold in the cold sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, gently fold the chopped strawberries and mashed bananas into the cream mixture. Mix until the fruit is distributed evenly.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan or an airtight container. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture in your ice cream.
If using frozen strawberries, you can skip freezing the mixture as long, but the texture may be slightly icier.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat canned coconut cream (chilled overnight) and use a dairy-free condensed milk substitute.
