If you agree, you definitely need to try my Ice Cream in a Bag, this No-Churn Peaches and Cream Ice Cream, and of course my Triple Berry Sangria Ice Cream.
And, what is a bowl of ice cream if it isn’t topped with Homemade Whipped Cream and a big scoop of my No-Fail Caramel Sauce. Or, maybe you’d prefer my 3-Ingredient Homemade Strawberry Syrup instead.

RECIPE VIDEO
Watch the video in the recipe card at the bottom of this post to see us making the strawberry ice cream recipe!!
This strawberry ice cream is smooth and creamy. You process the ingredients in a blender, so there are no chunks in the ice cream.
If you want strawberry ice cream with chunks of strawberries, you can chop a few strawberries and add them right before you pour the ingredients into the freezer container.
You can use a loaf pan like the type you’d make bread in as a freezer container. Or, you can use another type of freezer-safe container. If it has a lid, put the lid on.
Or, you can cover the ice cream carefully with plastic wrap.
2 Ingredient Strawberry Ice Cream Ingredients
All you need to make this delightful frozen treat is a bag of frozen strawberries and a bottle of your favorite coffee creamer. I chose French Vanilla Coffee Creamer when I made this.

Sugar Free Ice Cream Option
Yes, if you’re worried about the sugar content in this coffee creamer ice cream recipe, you can use sugar-free coffee creamer instead of regular creamer.
It’s a great option for a more diabetic-friendly ice cream recipe.
No Churn Ice Cream Recipe Tips
- Use a high power blender like a Blendtec or Vitamix for best results. I have also made this recipe with a Ninja with great success.
- You can also use other frozen fruit (peaches, berries, etc).
- Turn the blender off and scrape down the sides with a silicone spatula as needed.
- If you are out of coffee creamer you can substitute 1 cup whole milk, 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
How long will this stay good?
This homemade strawberry ice cream is so good, it never lasts more than a few days in our house. But, if you do want to store it for a longer period, you certainly can.
No churn ice cream is best enjoyed within a week of making it. Be sure that you cover the top tightly to prevent freezer burn. I often press plastic wrap over the top for added protection.
For best results, store it in a shallow flat container in the back of the freezer. Never store ice cream in the freezer door.
While you can store it for longer than a week, it may not taste as good as if you ate it sooner. So, feel free to eat a big bowl as often as you like.
Serving Suggestions for Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
There are so many delicious ways to serve this strawberry ice cream. You can always enjoy a big bowl on its own.
Or, top it with your favorite ice cream toppings. Or, you can have a scoop (or two) in an ice cream cone. Try adding a scoop on a slice of pie or sandwiching it between two shortbread or chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Last week when we went grocery shopping I was really craving ice cream. Being we do not buy ice cream that often, I let my 6-year-old pick out the flavor.
Needless to say, we came home with a chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge and chocolate brownie bits in it.
Enjoy!
With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream + Video
Ingredients
- 2 cups liquid french vanilla creamer
- 4 cups frozen strawberries
Instructions
- Add creamer to blender. Top with frozen berries. Place lid on the blender and pulse until strawberries and creamer come together. Use your ice cream setting, if your blender has one. Scrape down as needed. Blend until ice cream is thick and creamy.
- Serve immediately or scrape into a freezer container (I use a bread loaf pan). Cover with wax paper to keep ice crystals from forming on the top. Freeze until ready to serve, 2 hours to 2 weeks.
- Scoop and Enjoy!

I used sugar free French Vanilla and it works just as well.
Yay! I am so happy to hear you made it.
Have not tried it but want to…l like to explore….and l love icecream..
Glad to hear you tried the s/f creamer..I was wondering if I should try that option!
sure does look cool and refreshing and at the same time…..so easy to make.
I'm wondering, instead of using a blender, if I could use my Kitchen Aide Mixer
Hi Colleen! I have not tried it, however I feel like the frozen strawberries would be a little too challenging for the stand mixer. If you do give it a try, please let us know how it goes.
Can you use fresh strawberries? We have them pretty much all summer long here in
California
Fresh strawberries are great. I would just wash them and pop them in the freezer for a few hours first. That way, you blend it into a thick and creamy ice cream. If they are not frozen you will get a strawberry cream, which may not be as thick and creamy when frozen. Enjoy and let us know how it goes.

Oh,yum!! I just made this with some frozen fresh pineapple chunks and used coconut liquid coffee creamer! Absolutely delicious! … think I'll try it next with frozen peaches and Crème Brulee creamer.
Oh my word! That sounds divine Cindy. I am so glad you like it.
What about using peaches? Seems this should work also?
Absolutely!
could you use other fruit?
I used bananas good but icey
Can we use other fruit? What about using fresh strawberries instead of non-fresh strawberries?
I bought fresh strawberries day before yesterday, cleaned and cut them up, then put them in the freezer. They were ready to use to make the icecream last night. DELICIOUS!
I'm wondering how/if adding Nutella would work? The combination of strawberries and Nutella is a favorite of mine! I've made no-churn Nutella ice cream and this recipe as well, just never together. Thoughts?
That sounds like a decadent and scrumptious Strawberry Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream. I would consider the sweetness and maybe sub out half and half for the creamer, as it is already sweetened. Let us know how it goes. That is going to be amazing!
I haven't made any ice cream this year. This sounds good. I'll have to pin this for later.
Awesome Leslie! Let us know how it goes.
Hi 🙂
I did with frozen wild blueberries and my husband love it. I blend it everything in a food processor and I add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream to it but it was still too sweet for me.
That sounds fabulous! Perhaps adding a pinch of salt to your berries and cream would balance the sweetness for you. Enjoy and thanks for commenting!
I tried this last night and it was DELICIOUS!!!! I'm going to get some fresh (ripe)peaches on Sunday and will the peach version then. Do you have any other of these ice-cream recipes? I'm excited to try lots of varieties! SOOO much better than store bought! Thank you!!! One never knows how some of these shortcut recipes will turn out but these are truly winners!!
Thanks Julie! I am working on a few variations. I will post them as soon as they are finished. I am so happy you are loving them.
I also used sugar free French vanilla. Yum! Last weekend, my daughter and I made this and really enjoyed it. This weekend, we made it with mangos. It was even better.
I froze the strawberry in a container and freezes so hard, you have to thaw it a bit to eat it later. This week, I froze the leftover mango in silicone mini muffin pans, which works out marvelously well for a small treat.
Can you use milk instead of creamer?
How many servings does this make?

Any tips using a Vitamix?
Do you have a recipe for pistachio ice cream?
Do u have a recipe for pistachio ice cream?
Can I use the simply pure vanilla creamer?
We dont have international delight in South Africa what would be the alternative for us to use? Is international delight a milk powder?
No it's a refrigerated liquid. It's a coffee creamer. Same as Coffee Mate.
If you don't have an ice cream setting on your blender, what speed would you use?
I used pulse on mine…or the lowest setting.
for anonymous on using a Vitaix…put creamer in then dump frozen strawberries on top and use your tamper to mooch…when the 4 pillow show up you have ICE CREAM!
How could you do chocolate or vanilla ice cream? Or is that possible??
This is SOOO good! I had to stop my husband from eating it all when it came out of the blender! Unfortunately, the next day, it was hard as a rock. I tried to microwave it a bit, but mostly just softened the outside. Do you leave it out of the freezer for awhile before you serve it?
Fruits does freeze hard. We let it set out on the counter for about 10-15 minutes before serving, depending on the temperature of the house. Enjoy!
Add a tablespoon of vodka. It will keep homemade ice cream from freezing rock hard
