Ingredients
Scale
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare the fruit: In a small bowl, gently mix the chopped strawberries and mashed bananas. Set aside.
Whip the cream: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
Combine base: Gently fold the cold sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in fruit: Carefully fold the strawberry and banana mixture into the cream base. Mix just enough to create a swirl effect; avoid fully incorporating the fruit.
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe loaf pan or airtight container. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
Chill: Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Notes
For a thicker fruit swirl, freeze the mashed banana and chopped strawberry mixture for 30 minutes before folding it into the base.
If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the fruit slightly before adding it to the base.
Store leftovers tightly covered in the freezer for up to two weeks.
