Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

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 of salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prep the Ice Cream Maker: Ensure the ice cream canister is frozen as per your machine's instructions.
2. Prepare Strawberries: In a bowl, combine halved strawberries with 1/3 cup of sugar. Mash the strawberries until well chopped, or use a food processor for a smoother texture. Set aside.
3. Mix the Ice Cream Base: In a separate medium bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to combine the heavy cream, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Once mixed, add in the mashed strawberries along with any juices. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, around 1-2 hours or overnight.
4. Churn the Ice Cream: Follow your ice cream maker's instructions. Typically, place the frozen ice cream canister onto the machine and turn it on. Slowly pour the chilled ice cream mixture into the canister and churn until thickened, usually about 15-20 minutes. The ice cream should reach a soft serve consistency.
5. Optional Firming: For a firmer consistency, transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container with a lid and freeze for about 2 hours.
6. Serve: Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes prior to serving to allow it to soften slightly. Enjoy your creamy, homemade strawberry ice cream!
