BAKE THE CAKE

MACERATE STRAWBERRIES

Combine the cleaned, hulled strawberries and sugar in a pan.
Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
After the resting time is over, bring this mixture to a boil. Boil for 20 minutes. The strawberry mixture will start to thicken.
Allow it to cool completely. Transfer this mixture into a blender or food processor and blend them until smooth and creamy. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

ASSEMBLE THE ICE CREAM

After the shortcake has cooled, slice it into small cubes.
Form the ice cream base by combining whipped cream, milk powder, and condensed milk.
For 3 cups of whipped cream, combine 1½ cups of heavy whipping cream, ½ tsp cream of tartar, and vanilla extract to the bowl of your stand mixer. Start whisking the cream until soft peaks form.
Add strawberry extract.
Mix until everything is well blended and smooth.
Stir in chopped strawberry bits
Add strawberry sauce, cooled shortcake cubes, and fold in the ingredients. Finish it with a generous swirl of strawberry sauce.
Now pour the no-churn strawberry shortcake ice cream into a freezer-safe container, preferably with a lid, as you will need to close it tight. Freeze the ice cream for at least 6 hours or overnight.
