Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
This Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream is creamy, dreamy, and made with fresh strawberries, perfect for spring and summer.
Equipment
- Ice Cream Maker
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups strawberries hulled and diced
- 2 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup half and half
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Allow to sit 15-20 minutes, or until the strawberries have released their juices.
- Mash the mixture with a potato masher, fork, or pastry cutter until there are no longer any large strawberry pieces (if you prefer a smooth ice cream, use a blender or food processor instead).
- To the strawberries, mix heavy cream, half and half, and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow your manufacturer's instructions. You can eat the ice cream soft-serve, or freeze it in an airtight container for 3-4 hours to thicken it up slightly. For best results, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften before serving.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If you puree the strawberries, I would suggest only using ⅔ - 1 cup of strawberries, as the liquid consistency can make the ice cream less creamy if you use the full 1 ½ cups. The prep time refers to making the ice cream and does not include the chill time.
