Homemade strawberry ice cream

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, peeled and chopped

• 1 cup pure sugar, divided

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 cup whole milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Prepare strawberries:

• In a medium bowl, combine strawberries with ½ cup sugar. Mix well and let it sit for about 20-30

minutes. This process, called maceration, helps the strawberries release their natural juices and

enhances their flavor.

2. Strawberry Usage:

• After the strawberries are peeled, mash them as you wish using a fork or fork. For an easy ice cream,

you can puree strawberries in a blender or food processor. 9

4. Combine Strawberries and Cream Mixture:

• Add the roasted herbs to the cream mixture. Mix well to fully reveal the strawberry flavor.

5. Cooling:

• Pour mixture into a shallow plate or airtight container. Place it in the freezer for about 45 minutes,

then remove it and shake vigorously with a fork or knife to loosen any frozen bits. Return to the

refrigerator.

• Repeat this process every 30 minutes for the next 2-3 hours. This manual scooping method helps

improve the texture of ice cream, making it smoother and preventing frosting.

6. Service:

• When the cream reaches a thick consistency, it is ready to serve. If it hardens in the refrigerator, let it

sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before cutting.

Tip:

• Add flavor: To add flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice or a pinch of salt to the strawberry

mixture before mixing it with the cream.

• Variation: Be sure to add additional ingredients such as chocolate chips, chopped hazelnuts or fresh

strawberry slices during the last hour of freezing for extra flavor.

• Storage: Homemade ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2

weeks, but for best taste and texture, it is best consumed within the first few days.

Enjoy your homemade strawberry ice cream, a creamy, dreamy treat that is sure to bring a smile to
