Strawberry Jam Ripple Ice Cream Recipe
Introduction
Strawberry jam ripple ice cream is a delightfully creamy treat with bursts of sweet, fruity flavor. This no-churn recipe is quick to prepare and perfect for a refreshing homemade dessert anytime.
Ingredients
- 600ml double cream
- 395g can condensed milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ lemon, zested and juiced
- 200g soft-set strawberry jam
Instructions
- Step 1: Beat the double cream using an electric whisk until it holds its shape. Continue beating on a lower speed while gradually pouring in the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Then slowly add the lemon zest and juice, mixing gently to combine.
- Step 2: Pour the mixture into a shallow baking tin or freezer-safe container. Drop the strawberry jam in small blobs evenly across the surface using a teaspoon. Use a skewer to swirl the jam through the mixture, creating a ripple effect. Some jam will disappear from the surface, which is normal.
- Step 3: Cover the container and freeze for at least 3 hours until set. This ice cream is soft-set and ready to serve straight from the freezer.
Tips & Variations
- For a quick strawberry cheesecake ice cream, let some ripple ice cream soften at room temperature, then gently fold in beaten soft cheese, crushed digestives, and extra strawberry jam. Refreeze before serving.
Storage
Store the ice cream in a covered container in the freezer for up to three months. Serve it straight from the freezer for a soft and creamy texture—no need to thaw in advance.

Strawberry Jam Ripple Ice Cream Recipe
- Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes (including freezing time)
- Yield: Approximately 6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
A creamy and luscious no-churn strawberry jam ripple ice cream that blends the richness of double cream with sweetened condensed milk, infused with fresh lemon zest and juice, and swirled with soft-set strawberry jam for a delightful fruity twist.
Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 600ml double cream
- 395g can condensed milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ lemon, zested and juiced
Jam Ripple
- 200g soft-set strawberry jam
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Using an electric whisk, beat the double cream until it holds its shape firmly but still remains soft and fluffy.
- Add Condensed Milk and Flavors: Reduce the whisk speed to low and gradually pour in the condensed milk and vanilla extract while continuing to beat gently. Then slowly add the lemon zest and freshly squeezed juice, mixing to combine evenly into the creamy base.
- Prepare for Freezing: Transfer the mixture into a shallow baking tin or freezer-safe container, spreading it out evenly to allow for quicker freezing and easier scooping later.
- Add Strawberry Jam Ripple: Spoon little blobs of the soft-set strawberry jam all over the surface of the creamy mixture using a teaspoon. Then, use a skewer or fork to drag through the blobs gently, creating lovely ripples without completely blending the jam into the base.
- Freeze: Cover the container securely with a lid or cling film and freeze for at least 3 hours until set but still soft enough to scoop easily. This is a soft-set ice cream, so it doesn’t require long thawing before serving.
- Storage: Keep the ice cream frozen for up to three months in an airtight container. For a quick strawberry cheesecake twist, stir in some beaten soft cheese, crushed digestives, and extra jam once the ice cream softens at room temperature, then refreeze before serving.
Notes
- This is a no-churn ice cream, so no ice cream maker is required.
- Ensure not to overbeat the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
- Use soft-set strawberry jam for easy swirling and perfect ripple effect.
- The lemon zest and juice add a fresh citrus lift balancing the sweetness.
- The ice cream can be stored up to three months in a freezer-safe container.
- For cheesecake variation, add soft cheese and crushed digestives after softening the ice cream slightly.
