Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
Sweet, creamy, light and fluffy, naturally colored, chunks of perfectly sweet strawberries, and just so good! This Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream is the absolute best and super easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries chopped
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2⅔ cups whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine strawberries and sugar in a medium bowl.
- Stir until combined.
- Let sit for 30 minutes, or until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, combine milk, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt.
- Stir in macerated strawberries.
- Pour into ice cream machine.
- Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
- When ice cream has reached soft serve consistency, you can serve immediately or pour into a container, cover, and freeze for a couple of hours until firm.
Notes
- Don't have fresh strawberries? No fret! You can easily substitute with frozen strawberries. Just thaw the strawberries, chop, and follow along with the same instructions.
- Just like store-bought ice cream, this can also freezer burn after a month or so.
- The ice cream may become crumbly after a few days in the freezer. This is due to the high water content in the strawberries and/or the lack of cooking the base.
- If you're a soft serve fan like me, skip the freezing part and enjoy straight out of the ice cream machine!
