Strawberry Ice Cream is Berry Heaven in a Bowl!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 cup milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt
  
  

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar. Toss them together and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their natural juices.

2. Blend the Mixture:

   • Once the strawberries are softened and juicy, use a blender or food processor to puree the mixture until smooth. You can leave a few small chunks for texture, depending on your preference.

3. Combine with Cream and Milk:

   • In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

4. Mix Everything Together:

   • Add the pureed strawberry mixture to the cream and milk mixture. Stir well to combine until smooth and evenly mixed.

5. Chill the Mixture:

   • Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or ice cream maker container and refrigerate for about 2-3 hours to chill.

6. Freeze the Ice Cream:

   • If you’re using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

   • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up any ice crystals.

7. Serve:

   • Once the ice cream is firm and creamy, scoop into bowls and serve. Enjoy your homemade strawberry ice cream!
