Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream

Today I've got a simple no church Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream.   While I'd love to make all my ice cream in an ice cream maker, I don't have one.   I ended up making this one twice and my best advice is to cut the strawberry pieces fairly small because they do freeze when they are in the ice cream.   The first round I made I sliced the strawberries and while it was pretty, the strawberries were hard to eat.   When I chopped the strawberries it turned out much better.

There are only 4 ingredients for this ice cream, most of which you probably have on hand.  It's heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, strawberries, and vanilla. Because I am using sweetened condensed milk there is no need to add any additional sugar.   The heavy cream adds a silky, creamy texture while the condensed milk both sweetens and thickens it up.

The ice cream itself is smooth and creamy.   It has a mellow vanilla flavor and is studded with the strawberries.   It's great served in a bowl or mixed up in a homemade milk shake.
