NO CHURN STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM

My best friend and I indulged in this sweet summer classic back in our hometown, and could not get over the fresh strawberry flavor, rich chunks of cheesecake, and the fact that we didn’t use an ice cream maker! That’s right, this recipe is equipment-proof and calls for only five simple ingredients. This is the perfect treat for your next barbecue or to cool down on those scorching summer days.

MAKING ICE CREAM WITHOUT A MACHINE

I used to be intimidated by making ice cream at home because I thought there were all these unique ingredients, and I didn’t have a fancy ice cream maker. Wrong! Turns out you can make just about any type of ice cream with just two base ingredients: heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. From there you can create your favorite flavors by adding in various toppings, like the strawberries and cheesecake chunks for this recipe. If you’re wondering how those ingredients actually become ice cream, it is two simple steps of: (1) whipping the heavy cream until its light and fluffy with an electric hand mixer (okay I lied, not entirely equipment free) or a whisk if you want that extra cardio; and (2) folding in your sweetened condensed milk and choice of flavoring. After that, it’s as simple as pouring the mixture into a bread pan under parchment paper and popping it into the freezer. The eight-hour waiting period is probably the hardest part, so I recommend doing this before bed, so when you wake up its ready to go. Ice cream is the breakfast of champions, right?
