Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Fresh apricots
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 200 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and apricots thoroughly under cold running water. Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Pit the apricots and chop them into small chunks.
Place the strawberries and apricots into a blender or food processor. Add the lemon juice and blend until you have a smooth puree.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the fruit puree to the cream mixture and gently whisk until thoroughly combined.
Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to ensure it is completely cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream into an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before scooping.
Serve the strawberry and apricot ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy!
