Description
A refreshing and creamy homemade ice cream that combines the sweet flavor of ripe strawberries with rich vanilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean (or 2 tsp pure vanilla extract)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a saucepan, cook strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until soft and syrupy (about 10 minutes). Let it cool completely.

Notes
For best flavor, use ripe strawberries. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, stir every 30 minutes in a shallow dish until frozen.
