A quick and easy no churn ice cream bar recipe combining creamy whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, fresh strawberries, and crunchy shortcake cookie crumbs. Perfect for summer parties and last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 grams) frozen strawberries, thawed slightly
  • 1 cup (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (100 grams) shortcake cookies or biscuit crumbs, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thaw about 2 cups (300 grams) of frozen strawberries until just soft but not mushy (about 15 minutes). Drain any excess liquid. Chop into small pieces and toss with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. Place 1 cup (100 grams) of shortcake cookies in a zip-top bag and gently crush with a rolling pin or use a food processor for a coarser texture.
  3. In a cold mixing bowl, beat 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy whipping cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  4. Gently fold 1 cup (300 ml) of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula until just combined.
  5. Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries and crushed shortcake cookies, mixing gently to distribute evenly.
  6. Pour the mixture into a lined 8×4 inch (20×10 cm) loaf pan or silicone mold and smooth the top.
  7. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm but scoopable.
  8. Remove from freezer about 5 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean slices.

Notes

Do not overbeat the cream; aim for soft peaks. Fold ingredients gently to keep air in the mixture. Thaw strawberries just enough to chop but avoid watery fruit. Freeze at least 6 hours for best texture. For easier slicing, warm the knife in hot water before cutting. Optional pinch of salt enhances flavor. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free condensed milk.
