Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then puree them using a blender or food processor until smooth.
In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry puree with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the strawberry mixture into the cream base and stir until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on your machine.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up.
When ready to serve, scoop and enjoy your homemade strawberry ice cream!
