Equipment
Ingredients
Strawberry Ice Cream
- 2-3 cups strawberries
- 2 TBSP sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 TBSP vanilla
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
Strawberry Crunch Topping
- 6 golden Oreos
- 1/2 cup freeze dried strawberries
- 2 TBSP butter melted
Instructions
- dice the strawberries and put them in the blender with the sugar
- blend until pureed and then set aside, if you like you can strain out the seeds, set the puree aside
- pour the heaving whipping cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk
- whip for 4-5 minutes until you get soft peaks
- add the vanilla
- slowly beat in the sweetened condensed milk while the mixer is whipping, if you add the vanilla and throw the sweetened condensed milk into the soft peaks you'll deflate the ice cream mix, if that happens you'll have to start again
- keep whipping until the mixture forms stiff peaks
- once the mixture forms stiff peaks it's time to fold in the strawberries, fold half of the berries, stir to combine, and then stir in the remaining berries
- spoon the mixture into the popsicle mold, bang them on the counter to release air bubbles, use a knife as well to poke down in the mild and make sure the mixture is all the way to the bottom of the mold
- freeze for 6-7 hours
- meanwhile, put the Oreos in the bowl of the food processor, pulse to chop
- take out half the cookies, add freeze-dried berries to the bowl of the food processor, pulse to combine, pour them in a bowl and stir in the remaining chopped cookies and then the melted butter
- place the crumbs on a plate or pan until ready to use
- when the popsicles are frozen and easily removed from the molds slide them out
- press the popsicles into the crumbs on the plate and then put them on a baking sheet, if the crumbs don't want to stick lightly wet the ice cream bars and then press in the crumbs
- when all the popsicles are coated in crumbs in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to an hour
Notes
*PLEASE NOTE*
if you add the vanilla and throw the sweetened condensed milk into the soft peaks you'll deflate the ice cream mix, if that happens you'll have to start again
