Ingredients

To prepare this Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream, you will need the following ingredients:

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream:

Begin by preparing the strawberries. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup of sugar and the lemon juice. Gently mix and let the strawberries sit for about 30 minutes. This process allows the berries to release their juices and become syrupy.
After the sitting time, mash the strawberries with a fork or a potato masher to achieve your desired consistency. Some prefer a chunkier texture, while others like a smoother mixture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved.
Incorporate the mashed strawberries into the cream mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture in a shallow container in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
Once the ice cream is churned to a soft-serve texture, transfer it to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the refreshing, homemade goodness!

This Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, a delightful way to cool off and enjoy the flavors of summer. Enjoy making it for family gatherings, barbecues, or as a special treat just for you!
