How to Make Magic Strawberry Ice Cream

  1. Chill a large mixing bowl and beaters/whisk in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Process 2 cups of fresh strawberries in a food processor until completely smooth (about 30 seconds).
  3. In a large bowl, microwave 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 4 ounces white chocolate chips, and 1 tablespoon vodka on medium power until the chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Whisk halfway through.
  4. Whisk in the strawberry puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  5. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip 2 cups heavy cream on medium-low speed until foamy (about 1 minute).
  6. Increase the speed to high and whip until soft peaks form (1 to 3 minutes).
  7. Gently whisk one-third of the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture. Then, carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream, one scoop at a time, until just combined.
  8. Pour the mixture into an airtight container and freeze for at least 6 hours, or up to 2 weeks. Let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
