This easy strawberry and feta no churn ice cream is a flavor sensation. Perfectly balanced sweet and salty flavors with the fruity tang from strawberries, a total winner!
I celebrated my birthday this past weekend and I have to tell you how much fun it was. By the way, is it really silly to be super excited about your birthday when you’re an adult? I’d been waiting forever for my big day and had been planning to bake myself a cake. In the end I settled for these cute mini strawberry and cream cheese cakes. How adorable are these?!
So anyways, it seems lately I’ve been on a steady diet of strawberries. Now that we’re getting really sweet strawberries in the market I’ve bought and eaten my way through three pounds of those juicy berries so far this month! No exaggeration. I used them for my birthday cake, made a strawberry basil lemonade out of them and then this ice cream.
Ok let’s discuss this no churn ice cream for a minute. I know feta in an ice cream seems totally ridiculous. I debated about whether or not to use feta in this easy ice cream recipe for a very long time. Trust me on this one though, you’re going to love it. I’ll tell you exactly why.
If you’re like me and love the whole sweet and salty marriage this one’s definitely right up your alley. I love dark chocolate and sea salt, peanut butter and jelly and I think the salt adds a whole new dimension to a dessert. What feta also manages to do here is to make the ice cream so creamy and decadent that it will blow your mind! For extra creaminess I also added mascarpone to the mix and I was incredibly happy with the results.
This strawberry and feta no churn ice cream is one of those whacky flavors that I made on a whim but fell in love with hard. I’m wondering why I never thought about doing this before. It is definitely an out there flavor but I’m sure you’ll love it once you give it a taste.
