1. Prepare the strawberry mixture
Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
For a smoother ice cream, strain the strawberry purée through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside.
2. Prepare the chocolate
Melt the chocolate gently in the microwave in short intervals or over a double boiler.
Allow it to cool slightly so it isn’t hot when added to the ice cream mixture.
Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
3. Make the ice cream base
Pour the cold heavy cream into a large bowl.
Whip until it becomes thick and forms soft peaks.
In another bowl, combine the condensed milk and whole milk.
Gradually fold the condensed-milk mixture into the whipped cream until smooth.
4. Divide the mixture
Divide the ice cream base evenly into three bowls.
Now you have the foundation for your three classic Neapolitan flavors.
5. Make the chocolate layer
Add the cocoa and melted chocolate mixture to the first bowl.
Fold gently until evenly combined.
6. Make the strawberry layer
Add the strawberry purée to the second bowl.
Fold gently until you have a smooth pink strawberry mixture.
7. Make the vanilla layer
Leave the third bowl as the vanilla mixture and stir in the vanilla extract.
8. Layer the ice cream
Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
Spread the chocolate mixture evenly across the bottom.
Smooth the surface with a spatula.
9. Add the strawberry layer
Carefully spoon the strawberry mixture over the chocolate layer.
Spread it gently into an even layer without disturbing the chocolate underneath.
10. Add the vanilla layer
Finally, spread the vanilla mixture over the strawberry layer.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
11. Freeze
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Freeze for at least 6–8 hours, preferably overnight, until completely firm.
12. Serve
Take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
Scoop all three flavors together and garnish with fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings. 🍓🍫🍨
