  • Total Time: 30 minutes (plus 4 hours freezing time)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and half of the sugar. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until the strawberries release their juices.

  • Mix the Cream Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Combine Mixtures: Stir in the strawberry puree.
  • Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Freeze: Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes (churning time may vary)
