How to Prepare Strawberry Ice Cream at Home

Strawberry ice cream is a sweet, refreshing dessert made from fresh strawberries, cream, and sugar. It's perfect for hot days or as a treat after meals. Making it at home is simple, and the result is rich, creamy, and full of natural flavor.

 

Ingredients:

 

2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)

 

3/4 cup granulated sugar

 

2 cups heavy cream

 

1 cup whole milk

 

1 tsp vanilla extract

 

A pinch of salt

 

 

Preparation Process:

 

1. Prepare the Strawberries: Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of sugar and let it sit for 20–30 minutes to release juices. Then, mash or blend the mixture into a purée, depending on your texture preference.

 

 

2. Make the Ice Cream Base: In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

 

 

3. Combine Mixtures: Add the strawberry purée to the cream mixture and mix well.

 

 

4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight for best results.

 

 

5. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn depending on how you want it (usually 20–25 minutes) until thick and creamy.

 

 

6. Freeze and Serve: Transfer to a container, freeze for 2–4 hours, then scoop and enjoy!

 

 

 

This homemade strawberry ice cream is natural, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
