Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream Recipe

This Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream is rich, fruity, and delightfully creamy — the perfect summertime treat made from fresh strawberries, heavy cream, and a hint of vanilla. Whether made with or without an ice cream maker, it delivers a scoop of pure joy in every bite.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: few drops of lemon juice to balance sweetness

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix strawberries with ¼ cup sugar. Let sit for 15–20 minutes, then blend or mash lightly for a chunky puree.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla, and salt until sugar dissolves.
3. Add the strawberry mixture to the cream base. Stir well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
4. With Ice Cream Maker: Pour into machine and churn as per manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Without Machine: Pour into a freezer-safe container, stir every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours to break ice crystals.
6. Once firm, scoop into bowls or cones. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
