This strawberry ice cream recipe is made without eggs and is some of the creamiest, tastiest ice cream you can make at home using an ice cream maker. It is naturally pink from the gently mashed strawberries.

Have you ever made your own ice cream at home? We have and let’s just say, it can be a little messy…ok, maybe super messy!! I was a little rusty since it has been over a year since I last took out my ice cream maker. Honestly, I kind of forgot how much of a mess homemade ice cream can be.

Thankfully, I was well-equipped in the kitchen this time around thanks to my arsenal of Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels. These thick and absorbent paper towels feature quarter sheet sizes that are perfect for smaller messes, resulting in less waste. I love the convenience of the Brawny® Tear-A-Square® sizes because there are no other paper towels like this on the market!

I love using the full-sized sheets for drying dishes. They come in handy for larger scale messes like of that nature.

The half-sized sheet is perfect for messy dinner napkins. I prefer using paper towels for meals that are either greasy or saucy. This size is ideal for keeping mouths and hands clean.

The quarter-sized sheets are perfect for beverages and my children’s lunchboxes.

The fact that these can easily be torn into smaller squares makes them super helpful for parents of little ones, or people who want easy access to smaller-sized pieces. I love that I can choose exactly what size I need for the job at hand!

If you want the flexibility to easily grab what you need from your paper towel roll, then Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels are ideal for your family.

Boy, did these sheets sizes come in handy during the entire process of making homemade strawberry ice cream!

How to Make Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Tips for making Strawberry Ice Cream

Are fresh or frozen strawberries better?

For this recipe, freshly chopped berries are better than frozen berries. You will get a more authentic taste, and your berries will not taste sour. I decided to only lightly mash mine after mixing the batter to keep a lot of nice chunks!

Do I need eggs in my ice cream?

For this recipe, you do not need to add eggs. The ice cream freeze well and was creamy and delicious!

How long to freeze ice cream?

While this ice cream was soft serve consistency when it went into the loaf pan, it took a solid 6 hours to harden. To enjoy, simply scoop out using an ice cream scoop. Be sure to make sure the container is thoroughly closed.

How long to churn strawberry ice cream?

This recipe took 20 minutes in my stand mixer using the attachment. The bowl was fully frozen for best results. Just make sure you keep the speed on low because if you do not, the ice cream will spill out.

I had mine too high and the mixture overflowed. Thankfully, my Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels helped to clean up the giant mess I made!
