These creamy strawberry shortcake ice cream bars are a no churn, easy-to-make summer treat combining creamy ice cream with buttery shortcake crumbs and fresh macerated strawberries for a frozen slice of summer in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) shortcake or biscuit crumbs

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries by combining chopped fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a bowl. Stir gently and let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to release natural juices.
  2. Prepare the shortcake crumbs by crushing shortcakes or biscuits into coarse crumbs. Melt the butter and mix it into the crumbs until evenly coated.
  3. Whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, stir the sweetened condensed milk with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture in three parts to keep it airy. Then fold in the macerated strawberries with their juices carefully.
  6. Line a loaf pan (about 8×4 inches) with plastic wrap. Spread half of the cream and strawberry mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle half of the shortcake crumbs on top. Repeat with the remaining cream mixture and top with the remaining crumbs. Press lightly to compact.
  7. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before slicing for easier cuts. Lift out the block using the plastic wrap and cut into bars with a sharp knife.

Notes

If strawberries release too much liquid, drain some off before folding to avoid icy bars. Use chilled bowls and beaters for whipping cream to improve volume and texture. Line the pan with plastic wrap for easy removal and neat slicing. Let bars sit 3-5 minutes at room temperature before slicing for cleaner cuts.
