Strawberry Patch Ice Cream

By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 drops red food color (optional)
• 1 package (20 ounces) frozen strawberries, thawed and mashed
• 2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and the food color, if desired. Stir in the strawberries and mix until thoroughly combined.

In a medium-sized bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat the cream for 4 to 6 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the cream into the strawberry mixture until thoroughly combined.

Place in an airtight storage container and freeze for 8 hours, until firm.

Makes about 2 quarts.

Notes:
Add more or less of the food color, depending on the natural color of the frozen strawberries and the color of ice cream desired.
