Deliciously Creamy Strawberry Ice Cream
This homemade strawberry ice cream is not only simple to make but also bursting with fresh flavors. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up a refreshing dessert that’s perfect for warm summer days or any time you need a sweet treat!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Start by placing the quartered strawberries in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of granulated sugar over the strawberries and gently toss to coat. Let the strawberries sit for about 30 minutes to release their juices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Once the strawberries have become juicy, mash them gently with a fork to your desired consistency. You can keep some chunks if you like a bit of texture in your ice cream.
- Combine the strawberry mixture into the cream mixture, stirring until well blended.
- Pour the mixture into your Cuisinart ice cream machine, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Churn until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
Once it’s ready, scoop out a generous serving into a bowl or cone, and savor the delightful taste of homemade strawberry ice cream. You deserve this sweet treat!
