A quick and easy no-churn ice cream featuring patriotic red, white, and blue layers with crunchy cookie chunks. Perfect for summer celebrations and made without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup (150 g) frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 cup (120 g) cookie chunks (sugar cookies or Oreos, gluten-free optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the berry purees: Blend frozen strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar (optional) until smooth; add water or lemon juice if too thick. Repeat with blueberries and adjust sweetness as needed. Set aside.
  2. Whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to create the ice cream base.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula until fully combined, preserving airiness.
  5. Divide the base evenly into three bowls: one plain (white), one mixed with strawberry puree (red), and one mixed with blueberry puree (blue).
  6. Layer the ice cream in a loaf pan by spooning red, then white, then blue mixtures, repeating layers until all are used.
  7. Sprinkle cookie chunks between layers and a generous amount on top.
  8. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight until set.
  9. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften for easier scooping.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Puree berries smooth but not watery. Chop cookie chunks bite-sized for best texture. Let ice cream freeze overnight for best creaminess. Let soften 5-10 minutes before scooping. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with canned coconut cream and use dairy-free condensed milk.
