Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Start your ice cream adventure with this simple and delicious recipe that brings the lovely taste of strawberries right into your bowl.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes until the strawberries release their juices. You can mash them slightly with a fork for added texture.
In another larger bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar dissolves. This base will bring the richness to your ice cream.
Once the strawberries have macerated, add them along with their juices into the cream mixture. Stir gently to combine. You want to preserve some of the strawberry chunks for texture but also ensure the flavor is infused throughout.
Now, it’s time to churn! Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, it takes about 20-25 minutes for your ice cream to reach a soft-serve consistency.
If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours. This step is optional if you prefer your ice cream soft and scoopable right away.
Once you’re ready to enjoy your homemade strawberry ice cream, scoop into bowls and serve immediately. You can also top it with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra treat.

There you have it! A delicious homemade strawberry ice cream that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy every creamy bite!
