Creamy Strawberry Ice Cream Dessert

Irresistibly Creamy Frozen Strawberry Dessert — No Oven, Few Ingredients

This frozen strawberry dessert is a light and very easy-to-make treat. It has roots in no-bake recipes that blend the freshness of fruit with the sweetness of condensed milk. The flavor is sweet and slightly tangy at the same time, with a creamy texture that melts in your mouth. The fact that it’s served chilled and uses just a few ingredients makes it perfect for hot days and for anyone who wants something quick and delicious.

The recipe brings together fresh strawberries that add color and acidity, condensed milk that provides sweetness and body, and cream that makes everything wonderfully creamy. Strawberry gelatin helps set the dessert without baking, while crushed biscuits mixed with butter form a crunchy biscuit base that contrasts beautifully with the soft filling. In the end, the combination of all these parts creates a balance between creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy, with a texture that ranges from crunchy to velvety.

Ingredients

• 300 g fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
• 1 can (395 g / 14 oz) condensed milk
• 1 small carton (200 g / 7 oz) heavy cream (without whey)
• 1 envelope (approx. 30 g) strawberry flavored gelatin powder (prepared according to package instructions and left to cool)
• 200 g cornstarch or Marie biscuits, crushed
• 100 g unsalted butter, melted
• Extra strawberries for decoration (optional)

Instructions

1. Crush the biscuits until they become a fine powder.
2. Mix the melted butter with the crushed biscuits until a moist, crumbly mixture forms.
3. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan (8–9 inches / 20–22 cm). Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to set.
4. Prepare the strawberry gelatin according to the package instructions and let it cool until just warm.
5. In a blender, blend the strawberries (reserve a few for decoration), condensed milk, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
6. With the blender off, add the cooled gelatin and mix quickly until fully incorporated.
7. Pour the creamy filling over the biscuit base in the pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
9. Carefully unmold and decorate with the reserved strawberries before serving.

All times are approximate. For extra firmness, refrigerate overnight.
