FEATURED REVIEW
"This ice cream is the absolute bomb. Baking the strawberries makes their flavour so intense. Just to change it up occasionally I add chopped Flake chocolate."
MARILYN
The secret of this ice cream recipe is roasting the strawberries. By roasting the strawberries, the flavour intensifies and gives the ice cream a beautiful pink colour.

Recipe Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.

Step-by-Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Step 1: Roast the strawberries until soft and juicy, then set aside to cool completely.
- Step 2: Whip the cream in the Thermomix until light and fluffy, then transfer to a separate bowl.
- Step 3: Blend the cooled roasted strawberries until smooth. Add the condensed milk and blend until smooth.
- Step 4: Add the whipped cream to the strawberry mixture and gently fold through a couple of times with a spatula to help the mixture move through the blades. Mix for 20-30 sec/reverse /speed 2.5. Carefully fold in any remaining cream with a spatula. A few streaks are perfectly fine.
- Step 5: Transfer to a freezer safe container.
- Step 6: Press baking paper onto the surface to prevent icicles forming, and freeze overnight.
Recipe Tips
To hull strawberries, pull off the green tops and then insert a small sharp knife at an angle. Run the knife around the visible circle and pull the hull out.
Serving Suggestions
The ice cream will be solid from the freezer. To soften it, thaw on the bench-top at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before serving.
Storage
The ice cream will keep in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks. Ensure it is adequately covered to prevent the formation of ice crystals.

Thermomix Strawberry Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 750 g fresh strawberries, washed and hulled (cut any large strawberries in half)
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 395 g sweetened condensed milk
- 500 ml whipping cream, thickened cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the strawberries on the baking tray and sprinkle over the sugar and toss to combine. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until soft and the juices start to run. Set aside to cool completely.
- While the strawberries are cooling, whip the cream. Insert the butterfly whisk into a clean, dry Thermomix bowl. Add the cream and whip for 1-4 min/speed 3 without the measuring cup. Watch the cream very carefully so that it doesn't overwhip. Transfer the whipped cream to a regular mixing bowl and place in the fridge until the strawberries have fully cooled. Rinse and dry the Thermomix bowl.
- Add the cool strawberries to the Thermomix bowl. Blend for 10 sec/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and blend for 10 sec/speed 4 until combined.
- Add the whipped cream to the strawberry mixture and gently fold through a couple of times with a spatula to help the mixture move through the blades. Mix for 20-30 sec/reverse /speed 2.5. Carefully fold in any remaining cream with a spatula. A few streaks are perfectly fine.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth over the top. Press a sheet of baking paper onto the surface to prevent ice crystals forming. Cover and freeze overnight (12+ hours).
- To serve, leave at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before scooping.

Hi Vicki, what can I use to replace all the 395 gm of sweetened condensed milk? Appreciate your advice. Thank you. Regards, San-Ju
Vicki says
Hi San-Ju, you could use cream of coconut in the same amount of sweetened condensed milk. Kind regards, Vicki
