EQUIPMENT

  • Ice cream maker

INGREDIENTS

Strawberries

  • 1 pt strawberries (diced)
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup sugar

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 cup milk
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Strawberries

  • Wash, stem, and slice strawberries.
  • Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 1/3 cup sugar in a small airtight container.
  • Place strawberry mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours. (Leaving the strawberries, in the fridge longer will enhance the flavor.)

Ice Cream Base

  • Mix milk and sugar, allowing the sugar to dissolve (mix about 1 -2 minutes with a hand mixer or whisk).
  • Drain strawberries, adding juice to milk mixture. Set strawberries aside.
  • Stir in heavy cream and vanilla.
  • Pour mixture into your ice cream maker. Mix about 20-25 minutes.
  • Add about half the strawberries to ice cream mixture (use the other half as a fresh berry topping!).
  • Mix 5 minutes more in your ice cream maker.

NOTES

  • Smaller strawberry pieces will prevent a large icy lump in your ice cream. 
  • If you like the strawberry taste without the chunks, just puree fresh strawberries and add them when the recipe calls for the strawberry juice.
  • If you’d like a more “intense” strawberry color, simply add a few drops of red food coloring until you achieve the color you desire. Add the food coloring to the ice cream base before you churn it in the ice cream maker.
  • Leaving the strawberries, in the fridge longer will enhance the flavor.
