Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 cup sugar - divided ½ + ½
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Make the ice cream base
- Mix chopped strawberries with ½ cup sugar in a medium sized bowl. Allow to set for about 15 minutes so strawberries release their juices.
- Blend strawberries up in a blender or food processor.
- In a large bowl combine strawberry mixture with heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, salt and remaining sugar.
- For best results, cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
Churn & freeze
- Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture.
- If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours.
- Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
