Equipment
  • bowl
  • masher or fork
  • spoon

  • 500g strawberries
  • tin 397g condensed milk
  • 250ml greek yogurt
  • 250ml whipping cream

1

Dig the green stalks out of the strawberries, this will take time but it's worth it, you don't want the green stalks in your ice cream.

2

Put the strawberries into a bowl and mash with a potato masher or a fork until the berries are a pulp.

3

Add the condensed milk, yogurt and vanilla and mix with a big spoon.

4

In a clean bowl whip the cream with a whisk until you have soft peaks. This will take a little while if you're using a hand whisk, but keep going. Ask a friend to help you.

5

Add the whipped cream to the strawberry mixture and mix together. Pour into freezerpoof containers and freeeze for a few hours or until frozen.

You will need to take the ice cream out of the freezer a few minutes before you want to scoop to give it a chance to soften slightly...
