3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to make your homemade strawberry ice cream:

Start by placing the sliced strawberries in a bowl. Sprinkle half a cup of sugar over them and let them sit for about 30 minutes to release their juices.
After 30 minutes, blend the strawberries until smooth, or leave them a bit chunky if you prefer some texture in your ice cream.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves completely.
Fold in the blended strawberries into the cream mixture until well combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes) or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once ready, scoop and serve immediately, garnishing with extra strawberries if desired!

Your homemade strawberry ice cream is finally ready to enjoy! It’s a perfect treat to share with family and friends, or simply to relish by yourself. The blend of fresh strawberry flavor and creamy texture will surely make this a favorite. Enjoy your creation!
