Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen strawberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar (or honey)
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
1. Add the frozen strawberries to a high-powered blender or food processor.
2. Pour in the granulated sugar (or honey, if preferred). This adds sweetness to balance the tartness of the strawberries.
3. Add the heavy cream for a creamy texture and richness.
4. Pour in the vanilla extract for a boost of flavor.
5. If desired, add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a touch of brightness to complement the strawberries.
6. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a couple of times to ensure everything is evenly combined.
7. Once the mixture reaches a soft-serve ice cream consistency, taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
8. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer the mixture to a lidded container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer ice cream.
9. Scoop and enjoy your homemade instant blender strawberry ice cream!
