Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Milk is a fruity and delicious alternative to ice cream that kids and grown-ups will love! All the flavour with virtually none of the fat!
You’re probably scratching your head thinking Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Milk, what’s this?
Well, it’s a kind of cross between ice cream and sorbet.
It has a harder consistency than sorbet and is a bit flakier than ice cream but the wonderful thing about this dessert is that it’s incredibly low in fat as there is only 1.7% fat in skimmed milk (my bottle at least).
It’s also incredibly frugal as milk is so much cheaper than cream.
I had an idea to make strawberry ice cream but couldn’t bring myself to buy a large pot of cream due to both the expense and the thought of all those calories.
So when I got home I Googled “milk ice cream” and found this recipe for Simple Vanilla Ice Milk which I then set about adapting.
My whole family loved this iced dessert as it was both refreshing and delicious with the taste of fresh strawberries and vanilla.
This was also the perfect opportunity for me to try out the new gadgets that Oxo had just sent me. I used the Oxo Good Grips Strawberry Huller to prepare my strawberries and after a little practice got into the swing of punching, twisting, scooping, and pressing the button to deposit the stalk and hull.
The button was a little stiff to use but you could also just flick the hull out on most occasions. I was also sent the Oxo Good Grips Beak Ice Cream Scoop which is particularly suited to hard ice creams.
Due to its pointed beak it was so much easier to use and made light work of all the hard ice creams I tried it on including this recipe!
There is also a really useful “easy release” button so that your ice cream doesn’t stay stuck to the scoop.
This product is a real winner but don’t put it in the dishwasher like I did (it even says so on it) or it will lose its shiny look.
Looking at the pictures I realised my 9-year-old daughter made this recipe by herself, so why don’t you get your kids making some Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Milk this summer?

great recipe and very versatile – I make my version with all sorts of fruits. Instead of putting it into a tupperware I put into ice lollies forms so it’s easier to eat after 🙂
