Turn a handful of simple ingredients into a delicious batch of homemade strawberry ice cream. This easy recipe doesn't require any cooking. So, you will be churning a delicious dessert in no time. Use your blender if you have one. It makes the process super simple!
If you like chunks of fruit in your ice cream, use a potato masher to mash 3 cups strawberries and 1¼ cups granulated sugar together. For a smoother ice cream, process the berries and sugar in a blender or food processor.
Stir the 2 cups whole milk, 2 cups heavy cream, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract into the berry mixture.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to your machine's directions.
When the ice cream maker is finished, transfer to a storage container and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Allow the ice cream to sit on the counter for a few minutes before scooping. Enjoy!
Notes
If you plan to blend frozen strawberries, add the milk to the blender with the berries. It will help to break them down faster.
