Instructions
This is a quick overview of the instructions to make this recipe. You can find the full steps in the recipe card.
Make the ice cream base by mixing all the ingredients but the strawberry jam together per the directions.
Cover the mixture and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Churn the chilled mixture in your ice cream according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Spread half the ice cream into the bottom of a freezer safe dish. Then spread the jam on top. Cover with the remaining ice cream. Top with a swirl of more jam if desired. Freeze for 2 hours before serving.
Storage
Store your ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months. I like to store it in a loaf pan or a container the same shape as a loaf pan. If you don’t have a lid for your pan, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and foil to keep it fresh.
Wendy’s Test Kitchen Tips
- Due to the fat content in the cream, different brands of heavy cream will give the ice cream a different texture.
- I like to use Land O Lakes heavy cream for the smoothest ice cream.
- You can also add in crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, or your favorite peanut butter cups. However, add it after you churn the ice cream but before you freeze it.
- For easy removal of the ice cream from the container, try lining your container with parchment paper.
FAQs
You will need at least a one quart ice cream maker for this recipe.
