Ingredients
Scale
Dairy Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
Fruit Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend ripe strawberries with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform puree with no visible fruit chunks.
- Combine the strawberry mixture with chilled heavy cream and whole milk, whisking thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent base with a vibrant pink hue.
- Transfer the liquid mixture into an ice cream machine, churning at medium speed for approximately 20-25 minutes until the texture becomes thick and creamy with soft-serve consistency.
- Carefully scoop the freshly churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface to ensure even freezing and prevent ice crystal formation.
- Place the container in the freezer, allowing the ice cream to solidify for a minimum of 4 hours or ideally overnight, which will develop a rich, dense texture perfect for scooping.
- Before serving, let the ice cream rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly, enabling easier portioning and enhancing the creamy mouthfeel.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are ripe and sweet for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to help the ice cream freeze faster and create a smoother texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream or almond milk for a creamy alternative.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor profile and balance the sweetness of the strawberries and sugar.
