Prep:5 minutes
Cook:15 minutes
Freeze:8 hours
Total:8 hours 20 minutes
Yield:1 quart

Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 g strawberries, cleaned and hulled
  • 220 g white granulated sugar
  • 500 ml heavy cream
  • 250 ml whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Clean the strawberries and hull them by cutting around the leaves and removing the hard white core at the top of the berries.
  • Cut the strawberries into small pieces and put them in a bowl or directly in your blender. Add the sugar and stir a bit so the sugar covers all the berries.
  • Let the strawberry sit for 30 min.
  • Blend the strawberries on medium to high speed until everything is smooth.
  • Pour the heavy cream, whole milk, salt and vanilla extract into a new bowl. Give it a quick stir - then add the blended strawberries.
  • Gently combine everything until you have a nice pink-ish mixture.
  • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, and then churn it in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Freeze for 8 hours for the ice cream to harden - then enjoy :-)

Notes

If you’d like to ensure an extra smooth texture, you can pour your mixture through a sieve before churning. This will help strain out any seeds that the blender might have missed.
