At first I was doubtful. 3 ingredients? Really? Could it work? Yet again the "clean" factor of making my own food got me. The price factor is about the same amount as buying store bought-packed full of preservative ice cream. The price all depends on the ingredients you get and how much your store is charging for those items. I also calculated out how much the ice cream calorie wise would be and the light bulb of "NOW I know WHY ice cream is FULL of CALORIES" turned on. For a one and a half quarts there is a little over 2600 calories. A LOT! Wow! However do not let that discourage you. Honestly you need only a few bites to satisfy your sweet tooth.
With that being said here is the recipe. Happy eating:

2 1/2 cups strawberries or other berries of your choice (measure before you dice them up).
*NOTE: You can use frozen strawberries just thaw them out and place in to a bullet like machine. You can puree it if you like but I like chunks of fruit in my ice cream
2 cups heavy cream (16 oz is the size you will need)
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
*Note: I used low fat here honestly you can not tell the difference
Using an electric mixer on high speed beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix for another minute longer. Fold in your berries of choice (make sure its well blended). Then put into the freezer for a minimum of 7 hours. Im not sure how long this keeps because it's usually gone by the second day I make it! Major ice cream lovers in the house!
