🍓 Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare strawberries:
   Blend or mash the strawberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar until smooth (leave small chunks if you like texture).
2. Mix base:
   In a bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, milk, cream, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
3. Combine:
   Stir the strawberry puree into the cream mixture.
4. Chill:
   Refrigerate the mixture for about 1–2 hours.
5. Freeze:
   • If you have an ice cream maker: churn according to the machine instructions.
   • Without a machine: pour into a container and freeze, stirring every 30–45 minutes for about 3–4 hours until creamy.
6. Serve:
   Scoop and enjoy your creamy strawberry ice cream.

🍓 Tip: Add small strawberry pieces before freezing for extra fruity flavor.
