Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and hulking with flavor
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for zing

Instructions

  • Hull the berries and purée them until smooth. If you like a few strawberry bits, leave some chunks—your call.
  • In a bowl, whisk together cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until the sugar dissolves. No gritty sweetness—keep it silky.
  • Stir in the strawberry purée. Taste and adjust sugar or lemon juice if you want more brightness.
  • Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Patience is flavor’s best friend.
  • Churn in your ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It’ll thicken to a soft-serve texture.
  • Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours for scoopable perfection.
