Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl and electric mixer beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting to ensure the cream whips up perfectly.
- Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the freezer. Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and begin whipping on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Use a spatula and mix with a light, folding motion until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Transfer half of the vanilla ice cream base into a freezer-safe container with a lid.
- Drizzle half of the strawberry jam over the first layer of ice cream, using a knife or skewer to create swirls and marbled patterns.
- Add the remaining ice cream base on top and repeat the jam swirling process with the remaining strawberry jam.
- Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Chill for Success: For the fluffiest whipped cream, make sure to chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping the cream. This helps achieve stiff peaks more easily!
- Gentle Folding: When combining the whipped cream with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, use a gentle folding motion. This helps maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream, ensuring a light and creamy ice cream.
- Layering is Key: When adding the strawberry jam, take your time to create beautiful swirls. Use a knife or skewer to gently mix the jam into the ice cream base, giving you those stunning marbled patterns that make your dessert visually appealing.
- Freezing Time: While it may be tempting to dig in right away, allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This ensures that it sets properly and becomes scoopable.
- Scoop with Ease: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. This will soften it slightly, making it easier to scoop and enjoy every last bite!
