Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to crush the strawberries into small pieces, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the crushed strawberries. Stir well to combine, then cover the bowl and let the mixture macerate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Stir the macerated strawberries into the cream mixture, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
Once the mixture is chilled, set up your electric ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Pour the strawberry mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for about 20–25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 1–2 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy the fresh, fruity flavor of homemade strawberry ice cream!
