Description
Delightfully creamy no-churn strawberry ice cream layered between crisp cookies makes for a sweet and nostalgic handheld dessert perfect for warm weather.
Ingredients
400 ml heavy cream (about 1 cup + ½ cup + 3 tablespoons)
250 ml sweetened condensed milk (about 1 cup)
300 g fresh strawberries, chopped (about 10.5 oz)
Cookies/biscuits or graham crackers, enough to line a 9×7 inch dish (about 18–20 pieces depending on size)
Instructions
- Pour cold heavy cream into a mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer (or by hand) for 1–2 minutes until thickened, stopping just before stiff peaks form.
- Add most of the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream, reserving 2–3 tablespoons. Whip again until medium peaks form.
- Puree two-thirds of the chopped strawberries with the reserved condensed milk in a blender until smooth.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream mixture until combined and light pink.
- Fold in the remaining chopped strawberries for texture.
- Grease and line a 9×7 inch dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
- Arrange a layer of cookies or graham crackers at the bottom of the dish, breaking them as needed to fit.
- Pour the strawberry ice cream mixture over the cookie layer and smooth the top.
- Add a final layer of cookies, aligning with the bottom layer.
- Cover with plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, lift out using the parchment, and slice into sandwiches.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available—just thaw and drain first.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
Try variations like raspberries or mixed berries for different flavors.
Chocolate cookies or mini chocolate chips can add a delicious twist.
Make single-layer bars with just a cookie base for easier scooping.
Store wrapped in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
