Classic Strawberry Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 2 cups canned strawberry pie filling or canned strawberries, drained and mashed
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries, sliced, for topping
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
- Blend the Milk Mixture: In a food processor, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until well mixed and smooth.
- Prepare the Strawberry Mixture: If using canned strawberry pie filling, mash the strawberries to break them up. If using canned strawberries, drain them and mash them to a smooth consistency.
- Combine Mixtures: Transfer the blended milk mixture to a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in the mashed strawberry mixture by hand until well combined.
- Freeze the Ice Cream: Pour the combined mixture into a Tupperware container or any suitable freezer-safe container. Cover the container with a lid and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
- Serve: Scoop the homemade strawberry ice cream into bowls or cones using an ice cream scooper. Top with fresh strawberry slices and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
