No Churn Strawberry Vanilla Ice Cream.
Hi all, Olivia here! A happy early Valentine’s Day to you all. Whether you love or loathe the upcoming holiday, this easy no churn strawberry vanilla ice cream is a dessert worth making any time of the year.
Living in a Toronto apartment means limited storage and countertop space for miscellaneous kitchen appliances. So while I use my essentials regularly, I can’t seem to justify once-in-a-whlile gadgets like an ice cream maker.
Makes great ice cream cones!
Enter my quest for a great no-churn ice cream. I’ve found that relying on creamy, non-conventional ingredients yields the best results when you don’t have the luxury of churning.

Mix-ins are also a crucial part of the process, and because a good strawberry ice cream is one of my favourites, I immediately thought of using our Roasted Strawberry Jam for the most intense flavour.
Roasted Strawberry Jam
Easy and delicious!
This recipe surprised me for two reasons. A: It really couldn’t be simpler. It’s very hands-off with only 10 to 15 minutes of prep time. And B: the results were totally delicious and creamy like it had been made in an ice-cream maker. It will absolutely impress whoever is lucky enough to try it.

A perfect Valentines treat!
A few notes here. Using a higher-fat greek yogurt is key for creamy, scoopable ice cream. Look for 4% or higher (I’m actually using 11% fat yogurt in this particular iteration.)
Want to make it even fancier for Valentine’s Day? Try serving it like an Italian semifreddo.
Freeze the mixture in a lined loaf pan and serve by cutting the ice cream into slices, and topping with fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or whatever you please. Bellissimo!

Make some for your sweetheart!
Making a homemade treat for someone you love is almost always a more thoughtful gesture than what money can buy at a store. So skip the overpriced chocolates and dive into this easy ice cream. Whether V-day is your thing or not, showing some love, or some self-love, will always be worth it.

No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream with Roasted Strawberry Jam
No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream with Roasted Strawberry Jam. A creamy shortcut vanilla ice cream with ribbons of intensely flavoured strawberry jam. No stovetop cooking or ice cream maker required! A perfectly easy Valentine's Day dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries, fresh or frozen
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup greek yogurt (higher fat % is good here)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tsp vanilla bean powder (or substitute vanilla extract)
- 2 cups whipping cream
Instructions
To make the Roasted Strawberry Jam:
- Toss the strawberries, sugar and vanilla together in a glass baking dish or dutch oven.
- Roast in the oven at 350 degrees F, stirring occasionally until the jam reduces and the juice almost completely boils off.
- Watch it closely toward the end of the cooking time because the sugars will be very concentrated and will more easily burn. Allow 60-70 minutes for the jam to cook fully. It’s done once you reach a thick, jammy texture.
- Let the jam cool completely before adding to the ice cream.
To make the No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream:
- Whisk together the greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla bean powder in a medium bowl.
- Separately in a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer about a cup of the whipped cream to the yogurt mixture and gently mix together.
- Then, add all of the yogurt mixture to the whipping cream. Fold this together very gently, so as not to deflate the whipping cream. You want this to keep a mousse-like texture.
- Add half of the ice cream mixture to a seal-tight container. Add half of the strawberry jam by dolloping with a tablespoon, then gently swirl it into the ice cream with a chopstick. Be sure to leave visible ribbons of jam.
- Repeat this to create a second layer of swirled jammy ice cream using the remaining ingredients. Freeze for at least 8 hours before serving.
Notes
- Using a higher-fat greek yogurt yields the creamiest, most scoopable ice cream. Look for 4% or higher.
- You can also serve this dessert like an Italian semifreddo. Instead of assembling in an airtight container, use a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap instead. Serve by cutting into slices and adding fresh strawberries or fruit on top.
