Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup milk any kind you like
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free vibes
  • 2 –3 tablespoons sugar or your preferred sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

  • Mash or blend the strawberries until you’ve got chunky puree. Don’t overdo it—you want personality, not jam.
  • In a mug, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves. If you’re feeling fancy, add lemon juice now.
  • Fold in the strawberry puree. Mix until you’ve got a rosy, creamy swirl. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
  • Place the mug in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until it firms up to a scoopable consistency. If you’re impatient, pop it in the coldest part of your fridge for a bit longer.
  • Serve directly from the mug or scoop into bowls. Top with a few sliced strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream if you’re feeling dramatic
