Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • fork or potato masher
  • Whisk or spoon
  • ice cream maker
  • freezer-safe lidded container
  • ice cream scoop

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar and the lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
  2. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash the strawberries, creating a chunky purée. Set aside.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Add the strawberry purée to the cream mixture and stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  5. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20–25 minutes).
  6. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  7. Scoop, serve, and enjoy the sweet, creamy strawberry sensation!

Notes

For extra flavor, swirl in strawberry jam or add chocolate chips before freezing. Best enjoyed within 1–2 weeks for maximum freshness.
