Eggless Strawberry icecream | No Icecream machine

Strawberries have started cropping up everywhere in the market and they are big, bright and juicy to look at. I have never missed picking a carton for the past three weeks. Moreover pappu is a big fan of strawberries, he likes munching them for snack and so its a must in the grocery list. Last week he was down with a mild cold attack and the strawberries were left untouched. I had a whole carton of them and I wanted to put the whole box into use.

I knew the solution was icecream. We have never been big fans of strawberry icecream, its always been chocolate and so I was a bit hesitant. However I am happy that I made this. The tartness seemed to cleanse the palate with every bite making us to want more. I am totally in love with making icecreams at home and am sure gonna try more flavors.
