Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • (Vanilla)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • (Strawberry)
  • ½ lb fresh strawberries chopped
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries crushed
  • (Chocolate)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, add chopped strawberries and smash them with a fork just a bit so the juices run. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes, for 20-30 minutes until you have a thick purée. Add to a bowl and allow to cool.
  2. In a large very cold bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. Divide the sweetened condensed milk evenly into three separate bowls.
  4. To each bowl, stir in the following:
  5. Vanilla Bowl: Add 1/3 of the whipped cream and the vanilla bean paste. Gently fold until smooth.
  6. Strawberry Bowl: Add cold strawberry purée and 1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries (or food coloring) and mix. Fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream.
  7. Chocolate Bowl: Add cocoa powder and mix. Fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  8. In a loaf pan, spoon the vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate mixtures side by side in three stripes. Smooth the top.
  9. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Enjoy!
