Instructions
- Step 1: Place 1 1/2 cups hulled and quartered fresh strawberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Set aside 1/3 cup strawberry puree for swirling and chill the rest.
- Step 2: In a large chilled mixing bowl, whip 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 3: Gently fold 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth.
- Step 4: Fold in the remaining chilled strawberry puree carefully to create a marbled effect.
- Step 5: Pour half of the ice cream mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, then drizzle half of the reserved 1/3 cup strawberry puree over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the puree through the ice cream.
- Step 6: Repeat layering with the remaining ice cream mixture and strawberry puree, swirling again.
- Step 7: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Step 8: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping and serving.
