How To Make Homemade Ice Cream

Making homemade ice cream is much easier than you think. You don’t even need a fancy ice cream maker! You can make a no churn ice cream recipe with just a mixer and a freezer! This recipe uses just 3 simple ingredients, heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk and crushed, fresh strawberries.


Since this recipe is so easy, it’s ideal for kids to help with. I got the inspiration to get in the kitchen with my son Carson, who is going into first grade, from one of his I Can Read! Early Reader Series! books. We paired the book with the ice cream making activity for a fun learning experience that is also helping him get ready for going back to school. I want him to be sure to practice reading over the summer so he doesn’t forget the skills he learned in kindergarten. This was a great way to reinforce that and make it fun!

Ice Cream & Reading Activity

For this fun pairing of ice cream making and reading we stocked up on I Can Read! Early Reader Series! books and then I let Carson pick a book that we could do an activity based off of. He chose “Splat the Cat: I Scream For Ice Cream” and we decided we’d make some yummy strawberry ice cream just like Seymour had in the book! One of the best things about the I Can Read! books are that they feature familiar characters like Splat the Cat which makes them extra fun for the kids. Learn more about why to choose I Can Read! books and join us for this fun activity!

I love that the I Can Read! Early Reader series books are easy enough for Carson to read on his own. They are engaging and entertaining books while still being at a level that he can read and comprehend. It reinforces the skills he learned in school while also entertaining him and making reading fun! The books are designed with varying levels so you can pick the ones that are just right for your family.

Easy Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

In the Splat the Cat: I Scream For Ice Cream book they visit an ice cream factory where things go awry and a mess of ice cream ensues. They lose Seymour and end up finding him eating a tub of strawberry ice cream. We took our cue from Seymour to create this yummy strawberry ice cream and there is no fancy ice cream factory required! For this homemade ice cream recipe you’ll need just 3 ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1# fresh strawberries, washed and stems removed, set a few aside for garnish
  • optional: red food coloring

 

 

crushing strawberries in a bowl

Step 1

Begin by placing the strawberries in a bowl. Allow your child to mash them using a potato masher until they are macerated.

Be sure not to overbeat it or the cream will break. Peaks should be stiff and not runny. This takes approximately 5 minutes with a stand mixer.

Step 3

Carefully fold in the crushed strawberries and gently mix together.

If you wish you can add some red food coloring to it to make it more pink. This is not necessary though. Of course, my son wanted to add some! We added a few drops.

  75. This was a delicious and easy no churn recipe! My husband and I are going crazy for it. So easy! I have never made no churn ice cream but when things get back to some kind of normalcy, I will make it for my kids and grand kids. I didn’t add the food coloring. I had a vanilla bean at home so i used it in place of the vanilla. Great recipe! Thanks

  78. Hey, I heard about monopolybigballer from a friend and decided to check it out. What caught my eye was their special bonuses for players from India. I started with a few small bets and faced some losses, but then I took a bigger risk on the Monopoly game and won a solid prize. The game is really engaging, and the bonuses made it even better. Definitely worth trying if you want some fun with good chances.

  79. Wir haben schon hohe Boni ohne Einzahlung entdeckt, wie zum Beispiel
    bis zu 50 Freispiele ohne Einzahlung oder einen 10 Euro Bonus ohne Einzahlung.

    Nutzen Sie hierzu beispielsweise den Filter „Casinos für Spieler aus…”, um neue Online Casinos in Österreich zu finden. Und bei diesen Unterfangen sind kostenlose Bargeld-Gutschriften oder Freispiele eine exzellente Möglichkeit, die Kunden wieder längerfristig an die betreffende Casino-Plattform zu binden! Wie oben erwähnt, sind sie häufig Teil von Willkommenspaketen, etwa bei Supabet Casino, das neuen Spielern 200 Extra-Spiele zusätzlich zum Einzahlungsbonus anbietet. Beim Willkommensbonus von Lemon Casino gilt zum Beispiel eine Umsatzanforderung von 40x auf den Bonusbetrag. Solche Boni werden häufig als kleine Geldbeträge (z. B. 10 € gratis) oder als Freispiele für ausgewählte Slots vergeben.

  80. After a couple of successful runs from Gibbs, the Lions moved the chains and advanced into field goal range.

    Unfortunately, another drive was squandered when Jahmyr Gibbs fumbled at midfield, and the Vikings.
    But facing a third-and-9 after a strong Thomas Harper tackle for loss, Brosmer
    was sacked by Aidan Hutchinson, who pulled off a wicked spin move.
    Aaron Jones picked up 10 yards on a run, Justin Jefferson added 9 on a catch, and Brosmer converted a
    key third-and-1 with an 11-yard scramble.

    In February 2006, Microsoft announced that it intended to expand its Redmond campus
    by 1,100,000 square feet (100,000 m2) at a cost of $1 billion and said that
    this would create space for between 7,000 and 15,000 new employees
    over the following three years. In January 2006, Microsoft announced the purchase of Safeco’s Redmond
    campus after the company had begun consolidating its offices at the Safeco Tower
    in Seattle’s University District a year earlier. The first major
    expansion of the campus came in 1992, bringing the total amount of office space to 1.7 million square feet (160,000 m2) on 260 acres (110 ha) of land.
    The campus was originally leased to Microsoft from the
    Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, a pension fund
    manager, until it was bought back in 1992.
    That will set up the Vikings at midfield. Vikings back in Lions territory to start this drive.
    Minnesota recovers and the Lions are in complete desperation mode
    on offense, at this point.

  81. The theme then changes over to the spring display, which lasts until May, and usually features a butterfly house as well as many varieties of tropical flowers. The fountains are a popular attraction, and among the most photographed places in the United States. The fountains dance along to match the rhythm of the music, and water shoots as high as 460 feet. Fountains of Bellagio is a free musical fountain show performed in the resort’s 8.5-acre lake. It was the first time that such retailers had opened in Las Vegas, as Via Bellagio was the city’s first retail center focused on luxury brands. Since its opening, the resort has included a high-end retail area known as Via Bellagio.
    Michael Mina is one of Las Vegas’s finest seafood restaurants. Traces of the artist’s style can be found in everything from the delicate dishes to the carpet underfoot, thanks to the direction of Executive Chef Julian Serrano. Picasso honors the artistry of Pablo Picasso both by displaying his works and by interpreting them on their menu. The decor and the cuisine embody whimsy and luxury at the same time, helmed by chef Dameon Evers.
    The casino also hosts the annual WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic, and the Five-Star World Poker Classic. The Aria’s poker room offered players a high-end alternative to Bobby’s Room. The poker room was expanded in 2004, as the game saw a rise in popularity. As of 2003, gaming made up less than half of the resort’s revenue. Signage above slot machines was kept to a minimum, as Wynn wanted the resort’s architecture to be the primary focus. In August 2023, Blackstone sold a 21.9-percent stake in the resort to Realty Income for $950 million.
