Soft Serve Ice Cream and Toppings

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Strawberry Puree

    In a blender, combine 2 cups of fresh strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Blend until smooth, then strain through a sieve to remove seeds if desired. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Soft Serve Ice Cream Base

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Chill the Ice Cream Base

    Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the ice cream base for at least 1 hour or until it is well chilled.

  4. 4

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Summer Strawberry

    In serving bowls or cups, scoop the soft serve ice cream. Drizzle with strawberry puree, top with whipped cream, and garnish with fresh strawberries.
