No ice cream machine needed for this creamy strawberry shortcake ice cream! Loaded with fresh strawberries and buttery pound cake pieces.
Just when I thought this peach cobbler ice cream was my favorite, along comes this strawberry shortcake ice cream!
I’ve been in such a strawberry shortcake mood. Did you see the strawberry shortcake cake I posted a few weeks ago? It’s a cookout classic, but I think this strawberry shortcake ice cream is here to give it a run for its money!!
I don’t even want to tell you how many bowls of this I’ve had. It’s so very easy to make.
Whether you are serving this in a bowl or a cone, this strawberry shortcake ice cream is sooo good! It’s the perfect treat served at a cookout or for just lounging on a hot day.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making this no-churn strawberry shortcake ice cream.
1. Beat the heavy cream until the mixture is fluffy and it can hold stiff peaks when you lift the beaters. If you over-mix, you’ll deflate the mixture, and you’ll have butter and buttermilk on your hands!
2. To prevent your fresh ice cream from taking on that dreaded freezer taste, cover it tightly with foil or place it in a freezer-safe airtight container. Add a layer of plastic wrap (let it touch the surface of the ice cream) to prevent ice crystals.
3. Frozen strawberries can work if you let them thaw out, but there is just something about fresh strawberries in this ice cream.

You can double the strawberry mixture if you prefer lots of strawberries. I like to serve this with fresh diced strawberries and warm pound cake pieces, so I only use a pound of strawberries for the puree.
