Here’s a simple and delicious fruit ice cream recipe you can make at home—no ice cream maker required!
Homemade Fruit Ice Cream
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen fruit (e.g., strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, or mixed berries)
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (or honey/maple syrup for a natural sweetener)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Fruit:
If your fruit is large (like mangoes or strawberries), chop them into smaller pieces before freezing.
Make sure the fruit is fully frozen for a creamy texture.
Blend:
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen fruit, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Freeze Again (Optional):
For soft-serve style, serve immediately.
For firmer, scoopable ice cream, transfer to a container and freeze for 2–3 hours.
Serve:
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
Tips:
Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to enhance fruit flavor.
Swirl in fruit jam, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts before freezing for added texture.
