Course Dessert

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries washed and halved
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • **Don't forget to freeze the ice cream canister prior to making ice cream. Check your manual for instructions.
  • In a bowl, add halved strawberries and 1/3 cup of the sugar. Mash (with potato masher), until strawberries are well chopped. You could also use a food processor if you prefer. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer (or whisk well) to combine the heavy cream, milk, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Once it's well mixed, add in strawberries (with juices). Cover and refrigerate until well chilled (1-2 hours or overnight).
  • Follow your ice cream maker's manual for it's specific instructions, mine went like this:
    Place frozen ice cream canister onto machine and turn on machine. Slowly pour ice cream mixture into canister and mix until thickened (15-20 minutes). The ice cream should have a soft serve consistency. For a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container with a lid and place in freezer (for about 2 hours). Remove from freezer 10-15 minutes prior to serving. 
  • Enjoy!!
