Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream made with fresh strawberries and a creamy base. Smooth, flavorful and perfect for summer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup half and half cream
- ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Make sure you freeze the ice cream maker container for a full 24-hours before attempting to make ice cream.
- In a large saucepan, heat the cream, half and half, milk and sugar. Stir until dissolved, and then remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, stir in salt and vanilla.
- Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor (you want to pulverize them, not leave chunks). Add about 2 cups of the liquid mixture and process until smooth. Combine this mixture with the rest of the liquid mixture and refrigerate until completely chilled (several hours, or overnight).
- Process the ice cream base in your ice cream maker, according to instructions. Process for 25 to 30 minutes, until creamy and thick. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until it becomes a more solid ice cream consistency. Scoop and serve, when ready.
Notes
- Use ripe strawberries for best flavor
- Chill mixture completely before churning
- Freeze bowl fully before starting
- Blend until smooth for best texture
- Freeze after churning for firmer consistency
