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
Scale
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.
