🍧 Pink Mojito Ice Cream (No-Churn) Recipe 🍧
A Fruity, Minty, Summery Delight Without an Ice Cream Machine!

🌸 Introduction:

Craving something cool, creamy, and refreshing with a tangy fruity twist? Enter: Pink Mojito Ice Cream—a luscious, no-churn frozen dessert inspired by the tropical flavors of the iconic mojito cocktail. With notes of mint, lime, and juicy berries, this velvety treat is the perfect marriage of vibrant taste and elegant simplicity. Best of all? You don’t need an ice cream maker!

🧂 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup raspberry or strawberry puree (strained for seeds)
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp mint extract (or 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint leaves)
  • Optional:
    • A few drops of red or pink food coloring (for a vibrant hue)
    • Crushed freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries for swirl
    • Fresh mint leaves or lime wedges for garnish

🥣 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Berry Puree
    • Blend fresh or frozen raspberries or strawberries until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  2. Whip the Cream
    • In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. Flavor Base
    • In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the berry puree, lime zest, lime juice, and mint extract (or chopped mint). Stir until fully combined.
  4. Combine
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the berry mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream—use soft, folding motions until fully mixed.
  5. Color & Layer (optional)
    • Add a few drops of food coloring for a vibrant pink color. If desired, swirl in crushed freeze-dried berries or extra puree for visual texture.
  6. Freeze
    • Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
  7. Chill
    • Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Serve & Garnish
    • Scoop and serve in bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint, lime slices, or extra berry drizzle.

🧪 Methods & Formation:

This is a no-churn recipe, meaning it skips the traditional ice cream machine. The whipped cream gives it volume and lightness, while the sweetened condensed milk keeps it smooth and scoopable straight from the freezer. The fruit puree adds tartness and natural color, and mint gives that cooling mojito sensation. Lime brightens every bite, making it tangy and irresistibly tropical.

đź•° History:

Inspired by the classic Mojito—a Cuban cocktail made with rum, lime, sugar, soda water, and mint—this ice cream captures the essence of summer in a scoop. Over the years, the mojito has evolved beyond drinks into cakes, sorbets, and now, creamy no-churn ice cream. The “pink” version is a modern twist, adding berries for color and sweetness.
