Classic Strawberry Ice Cream

This Classic Strawberry Ice Cream recipe is creamy, refreshing, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. It’s perfect for summer or any time you’re craving a fruity, frozen treat.


Ingredients (Serves 6-8):

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Strawberries:

    • In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and lemon juice.
    • Mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher until slightly chunky. Let sit for 20-30 minutes to macerate.
  2. Blend the Strawberries:

    • Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberry mixture until smooth, or leave some chunks if you prefer a textured ice cream. Set aside.
  3. Make the Ice Cream Base:

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Combine with Strawberries:

    • Stir the strawberry puree into the cream mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Chill the Mixture:

    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  6. Churn the Ice Cream:

    • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes).
  7. Freeze:

    • Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
  8. Serve:

    • Scoop and enjoy as-is, or serve in cones, bowls, or alongside your favorite desserts.

Tips and Variations:

  • Fresh vs. Frozen: If fresh strawberries aren’t available, you can use frozen strawberries. Thaw and drain them before macerating.
  • Extra Texture: Stir in chopped fresh strawberries during the last few minutes of churning for added texture.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute coconut cream and almond milk for the heavy cream and whole milk.
