Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fresh Strawberries
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup sugar to sweeten the strawberries
Cream Base
  • 2 cups heavy cream for a rich and creamy texture
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for added flavor
  • 1 pinch salt to enhance the flavors

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice them into smaller pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Sprinkle the sugar over the strawberries and let sit for about 10 minutes to release natural juices.
Mixing
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberry mixture, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth, leaving some strawberry chunks for texture if desired.
Chilling
  1. Pour the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Churning
  1. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes) until soft-serve consistency is reached.
Freezing
  1. Transfer the soft mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serving
  1. Scoop the firm ice cream into bowls or cones and add toppings if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Store the ice cream in a tightly sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
