Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into quarters.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
Transfer the strawberry mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, lightly pulse the mixture instead of fully blending.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Add the blended strawberry mixture to the cream mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tanginess if necessary.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade strawberry buttermilk ice cream!
