The ice cream truck has been making daily rounds through our neighborhood for the past couple of months. For some reason, this temptation on wheels always makes its appearance just before dinner time. It’s a great excuse for not obliging the sudden chorus of ice-cream entreaties. Once in awhile, I’ll put on my nice hat. I’ll stand in that ice-cream truck line and get something the kids can save in the freezer for after dinner. Occasionally. But if my guys want homemade ice cream? To that, I almost always say yes 🙂

Homemade strawberry ice cream contains no artificial ingredients.

This Strawberry Ice Cream is one of the easiest ice cream recipes. It’s not a heavier custard based ice cream, so there’s no tricky egg work involved. Whole milk and cream give this ice cream its lightly creamy texture.

A generous heap of strawberries (and other berries!) lend their beautiful color and flavor. You can use fresh or frozen berries here; If using fresh strawberries, you’ll just need to give them time to macerate in sugar first. You’ll be well-rewarded.

Strawberry Ice Cream

This strawberry ice cream is simple, easy, and refreshingly delicious!

Servings: 10 -12

2 cups fresh, or frozen strawberries or mixture of berries, stemmed (sliced, if needed)
1 cup sugar
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

If you’re only using fresh strawberries, slice them and stir with 1/4 cup of the given sugar, allowing to sit and macerate for 2 hours. Other berries do not need macerating. If your mixed berries are frozen, it’s best to leave them frozen.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk and sugar until sugar is dissolved.
Stir in heavy cream and vanilla, and whisk to combine well.
Turn ice cream make on and pour milk/cream mixture in. Follow directions on your ice cream maker for churning; generally about 25-30 minutes.
During last 5-10 minutes of churning, add the strawberries (including juices from macerating, if any.)
Ice cream may be soft and need to firm up in freezer for 2-3 hours before serving.

What is frozen fruit ice cream called?

This frozen delight contains just fruit and sugar—no dairy. It's often churned in an ice cream maker, which makes it scoopable but not creamy.

How do you incorporate fruit into ice cream?

You might think that you could simply add cut up fruit to your vanilla ice cream base – and you could. But because fruit has a lot of water, you'll end up with icy chunks of fruit disrupting your otherwise-smooth-and-creamy ice cream experience. So instead, you simply cook the water out of the fruit.
