Ingredients:
1. Fresh Strawberries
First and foremost, you will need fresh strawberries for this recipe. While frozen berries may be tempting, using fresh strawberries will give your ice cream a vibrant and natural flavor. Look for ripe strawberries that are deep red in color and smell sweet.
2. Heavy Cream
Heavy cream is essential for creating a rich and creamy texture in your ice cream. Make sure to use heavy cream with a high fat content for the best results. You can also substitute with half and half if you prefer a lighter version.
3. Whole Milk
In addition to heavy cream, this recipe calls for whole milk. The combination of heavy cream and whole milk creates the perfect balance of creaminess and lightness in the ice cream. Using whole milk also adds a subtle hint of sweetness.
4. Granulated Sugar
A classic ice cream recipe always includes sugar to add sweetness. Granulated sugar is used in this recipe, but you can also use honey or agave nectar for a healthier alternative.
5. Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract adds a warm and comforting flavor to the ice cream. Make sure to use pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
6. Salt
A pinch of salt may seem like an odd ingredient for ice cream, but it actually helps to balance out the sweetness and enhance the flavors.
7. Lemon Juice
A small amount of lemon juice adds a bright and tangy flavor to the ice cream. It also helps to prevent the strawberries from turning brown.
Instructions:
1. Start by washing and slicing fresh strawberries. Set aside a few slices for garnish, if desired.
2. In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Slowly pour in the strawberry puree and mix until well combined.
5. Add lemon juice and mix again.
6. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
7. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
8. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
9. Serve with fresh strawberry slices on top, if desired.
