Strawberry Sensation Ice Cream
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Prepare the Strawberry Mixture:
In a bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes, so the strawberries release their juice and the sugar dissolves.
Make the Ice Cream Base:
In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Combine the Mixtures:
Stir the strawberry mixture into the ice cream base until well blended.
Chill and Freeze:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight until well chilled.
Churn the Ice Cream:
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 25-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze Again:
Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm.
Serve and Enjoy:
Scoop the strawberry ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the refreshing strawberry flavor in every creamy bite!
