Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups (473 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (237 ml) whole milk
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Transform ripe strawberries and sugar into a silky, vibrant puree using a high-speed blender, creating a smooth crimson mixture.
- Combine the strawberry puree with chilled heavy cream, whole milk, and fragrant vanilla extract in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking until the ingredients harmonize into a uniform, luscious liquid.
- Pour the velvety strawberry cream base into an ice cream machine, churning at medium speed for 20-25 minutes until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency and develops a luxurious, aerated texture.
- Transfer the freshly churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface with a spatula to eliminate air pockets and ensure a creamy finish.
- Allow the strawberry ice cream to solidify in the freezer for 4-6 hours, enabling the mixture to develop a rich, scoopable consistency that captures the essence of summer’s sweetest fruit.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries at peak season for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- For a creamier texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
- Lactose-free alternative: Replace heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk for a dairy-free version.
- Enhance the strawberry flavor by adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of fresh basil to the puree for a gourmet twist.
