HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM RECIPE





























Ingredients:

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

1 cup granulated sugar

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Mix well and let sit for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and the sugar dissolves.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the macerated strawberries to a blender and puree until smooth. Reserve the remaining strawberry mixture.

Add the strawberry puree to the milk mixture and whisk until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, until the ice cream is thick and creamy.

While the ice cream is churning, pour the reserved strawberry mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it thickens and reduces by half, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Once the ice cream has finished churning, transfer it to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the cooled strawberry sauce over the top and swirl it into the ice cream using a knife or spatula.

Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Scoop and serve the strawberry ice cream, garnished with fresh sliced strawberries, if desired.

Enjoy your homemade strawberry ice cream!
