Making Strawberry Ice Cream
- 1
Prepare the Strawberries
Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle the granulated sugar over them. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to macerate.
- 2
Blend the Strawberries
After the strawberries have released some juice, blend them in a food processor until smooth. You can leave some chunks if you prefer a bit of texture in the ice cream.

Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- 4
Combine Strawberry Puree with Base
Add the strawberry puree to the cream mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until chilled.

Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
