Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Hull and roughly chop the fresh strawberries. Place them in a medium bowl and add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Gently toss to combine and allow this mixture to sit for around 20 minutes to macerate.
Step 2
Once the strawberries are softened and have released their juices, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth or leave slightly chunky, depending on your texture preference.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 4
Stir in the blended strawberry mixture until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the chilled bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 6
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Step 7
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping and serving.
