Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk, chilled
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch (1g) fine sea salt
- 2 cups (250g) pound cake, cubed into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 tbsp (15g) melted butter
Instructions:
- Place diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a syrupy jam and the berries have broken down. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate large bowl, stir together the chilled sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk using a rubber spatula, using a 'cut and fold' motion to keep the air in the mixture.
- Pour half of the cream base into a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Spoon half of the cooled strawberry reduction and half of the cake cubes over the top. Repeat with the remaining cream base, strawberries, and cake. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the strawberries gently into the cream.
- Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
