Description
This Pink Mojito Ice Cream is fruity, minty, and ultra-creamy—just like your favorite summer cocktail, but in frozen dessert form! Made with fresh raspberry or strawberry puree, lime zest, and cooling mint, this no-churn ice cream comes together in minutes and requires zero fancy equipment. It’s a refreshing, crowd-pleasing treat you can whip up ahead of any summer gathering… or just stash in the freezer for solo cravings. A little tart, a little sweet, and a whole lot of WOW.
Ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
½ cup raspberry or strawberry puree (strained if seedy)
Zest of 1 lime
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
Optional: 1–2 tsp white rum or rum extract (for that mojito twist!)
Extra mint leaves and lime zest, for garnish
Instructions
Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).
Mix the Flavor Base: In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, berry puree, lime zest, lime juice, chopped mint, and optional rum or rum extract until smooth and colorful.
Fold Gently: Add the whipped cream to the fruit mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula until fully combined and fluffy—don’t overmix!
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Serve & Garnish: Scoop into bowls or cones, then top with a little extra lime zest and a fresh mint leaf. Total summer vibes!
Notes
Berry choices: Both raspberry and strawberry work beautifully—just strain the puree to remove seeds for the smoothest texture.
No rum? No problem! This is 100% delicious without alcohol. Rum extract gives a similar flavor, or leave it out entirely.
Want it dairy-free? Use whipped coconut cream and a dairy-free condensed milk alternative.
Storage tip: Keep it covered tightly in the freezer and enjoy within 2 weeks for best flavor and texture.
Scoop like a pro: Let the container sit at room temp for 5–10 minutes before serving for the perfect scoop!
