Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Strawberry Sensation Ice Cream that’s packed with fresh strawberry flavor!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (about 3 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for extra brightness)
- 1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the strawberries:
- Place the chopped strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the sugar.
- Gently mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher to release some of the juices, but leave some chunks for texture. You can also blend them for a smoother consistency if preferred.
- Add the lemon juice (optional) to enhance the flavor.
- Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate and release the juices.
- Make the ice cream base:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar (1/2 cup), heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine the strawberry mixture and cream base:
- Add the mashed strawberries (with their juices) into the cream mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
- Chill the mixture:
- Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to chill. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Churn the ice cream:
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on your machine.
- Freeze the ice cream:
- Once the ice cream has thickened and resembles soft-serve consistency, transfer it into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve and enjoy!
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy your Strawberry Sensation Ice Cream—a creamy, fruity treat perfect for any time!
