Strawberry Dream Cream





Since it's getting nicer and warmer outside, I figured I should be posting this! I am soo far behind... I am not gonna apologize this time... ;) Finally got the oldest DONE with her school work, now I can "hopefully" catch up on some blogging!

This was soooooooooo good and easy, and the cool thing is, you DON'T need an ice cream maker! That's right, you do NOT need one! :)

You don't have to make it this way all the time, you can play around with different flavors. I made chocolate with mini chocolate chips, super good! :)



Chopped up strawberries



Whipping cream ready to have all the other ingredients added


Ready to help! :) Adding the sugar


Another one that wants to help! He added the other half of the sugar


YUMMY!!! Ready to be frozen

Look at all those strawberries! YUMMY! :)


Out of the freezer after the 1st 3 hours... Ready to be whipped up!


Ready to go back to the freezer for the 2nd time!


I already ate a couple spoonfuls at this point... I mean, I just HAD to try it to make sure it was good! I could've just drank a cup of this! Who cares if it wasn't frozen hard! :D


All done and ready to be eaten! The kiddos LOVED this!!!! Okay, so we all did!!! :)




Strawberry Dream Cream

2 - 3 cups strawberries, chopped up nice and small, or you can mash them
2 cups whipping cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup cold water
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Pour whipping cream in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat until soft peaks form.
Then add the sweetened condensed milk, cold water, sugar and vanilla. Mix it all up, then add the strawberries.
Beat again until mixed.
Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan. Freeze until mushy, about 3 to 4 hours. Remove from the freezer and put back into the mixing bowl, beat until smooth but not melted. Pour the mixture back into the container and freeze until ready, about 3 hours.
ENJOY!!!!!

*Make sure you chill your mixing bowl before adding the whipping cream. ;)
I used the tupperware 9x13 container that has the lid, works GREAT!
Try using other flavors, add chopped up oreo's, your favorite candy bar, chocolate chips... the possibilities are endless with this!
I made it chocolate and used about 1/2 to 3/4 cup chocolate powder, then added some mini chocolate chips I had. SOOOO good!!!
The one thing about using chopped strawberries instead of mushed, the strawberries are kinda hard, but it was good! :)
