Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Place them in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth to create a strawberry puree.
Pour the strawberry puree into a medium bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice until the sugar has dissolved completely. Set the mixture aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful to maintain the fluffy texture.
Add the strawberry puree and vanilla extract to the whipped cream mixture. Gently fold everything together until the mixture is fully combined and no streaks remain.
Transfer the ice cream mixture into a large, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with an airtight lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the mixture for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm and scoopable.
Serve the magic strawberry ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy the fresh, creamy goodness!
