Method

  • step 1

    Pull the green hulls out of the strawberries. If they are still quite hard, cut them in half or quarters with a table knife. Tip them into a flat-bottomed dish.

  • step 2

    Use a potato masher to squash the strawberries as much as you can. Tip into a bowl. Ask your grown-up helper to give you a hand if you need to.

  • step 3

    Add the mascarpone and mash this in – don’t worry if it is a bit lumpy. Add the condensed milk and mix everything together. Don’t worry if the mix is streaky.

  • step 4

    Spoon the mixture into a metal or plastic box and put it in the freezer. Wait until the next day or at least 6 hours before scooping into bowls or cones. Decorate how you like.

RECIPE TIPS
TOP TIP FOR PARENTS

The riper the strawberries are the more easily they will mash and this makes a really good way to use up older strawberries. If your child is not able to cut with a knife, then roughly chop the strawberries for them. You can also use raspberries, ripe bananas, peeled peaches or nectarines for this recipe.

I cooked down the strawberries with a bit of sugar before stirring into the mascarpone and condensed milk. Really lovely.

Too 'icy'. I think the reason this is 'icy' ( according to my ma !) is that the fruit is full of water. Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Regardless of how many times you beat it during the freezing process, the fruit itself creates the 'icy- ness'. Nevertheless it was a pleasant ice cream,…

This was very easy to throw together! As fresh strawberries are not in season, I used peaches and bananas and also doubled the quantities. Couldn't quite scoop it out of the container after being in the freezer (unlike the picture!) so served it in 'slices'. Delicious mind!

Delicious and really easy to make. 10 year old and 6 year old practically did it on their own!

Simply simple! Who does not want ice creams in summer & that too strawberry flavor. Preparing ourselves is good for health. I will try for my kid with yummiest toppings.
