It is such a pleasure to be able to make ice creams at home. Soft luxurious luscious ice creams ready to be scooped up and served. Fruit flavoured ice creams like this eggless strawberry ice cream are often made only from essences or concentrates.
The joy is in making and of course eating ice cream made with fresh fruit. You exactly know what is going into your ice cream mixture and know it can be safely consumed without the worry of preservatives or artificial flavourings.
Here I have used fresh strawberries which are puréed coarsely in this eggless strawberry ice cream. You can also make it really smooth if you do not like small chunks of strawberries in your ice cream. However you prefer it 🙂 After all, it is your own ice cream. I have used my ice cream churner to churn the ice cream. But it can be made using a blender.
If using a hand held electric blender or regular blender, blend the ice cream mixture till light. Freeze the mixture for 1 hour. Blend again for a few minutes and make sure any crystals that are formed are broken down. Repeat this 6-7 times at one hour intervals. The end mixture has to be light and fluffy. Freeze this to set ice cream.
As mentioned in eggless vanilla ice cream recipe this also does not require any cooking or making a custard. However, I have used condensed milk to make for a thick and smooth ice cream mixture. Enjoy this rich and luscious dessert!
Do try other ice cream based desserts or use it as an accompaniment for desserts like eggless chocolate brownies or make this ice cream cake. Vanilla ice cream with carrot halwa, oh boy!

Use skimmed/semi-skimmed milk and lower fat cream but the resultant mix will not be smooth and creamy but it is possible to make it
Adjust sweetness as per your taste. Add little more if strawberries are tart and sour
