- 1 ½ cups strawberries (fresh or frozen, hulled)
- 10–12 Oreo cookies (crushed, not too fine)
Instructions
No-Churn Method:
- Prepare the strawberries: Blend strawberries into a puree. You can strain the seeds if desired. For a stronger flavor, reduce the puree in a saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened, then cool.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the base: In another bowl, combine the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cooled strawberry puree.
- Combine and fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Oreos: Fold in crushed Oreo pieces, leaving some visible chunks for texture.
- Freeze: Pour into a loaf pan or container. Swirl more puree or Oreo pieces on top for decoration. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
Tips for the Best Flavor & Texture
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the most flavor.
- Chill the mixing bowl for faster whipping.
- Mix Oreos gently to avoid them turning soggy.
- Want a stronger strawberry color? Add a tiny drop of natural pink food coloring.
Serving Suggestions
- Scoop into cones or bowls with extra crushed Oreos on top
- Sandwich between two cookies for homemade ice cream sandwiches
