Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla paste
Instructions
- Make sure the bowl of your ice cream machine is completely frozen before starting this recipe.
- Wash strawberries and trim off any stems and leaves. Quarter berries and place into a bowl.
- Sprinkle sugar and salt over the berries and stir to coat. Let the fruit macerate for 1-2 hours to draw out the juices and soften.
- Transfer the strawberries and collected juices into a blender or food processor. Purée until smooth (tiny pieces of berry are OK).
- Pour the purée into a bowl. Add heavy cream and vanilla and whisk well until combined. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- When ready to churn, place frozen ice cream bowl into your machine. Pour in the strawberry mixture and churn according to manufacturer instructions.
- Enjoy ice cream immediately as soft serve, or transfer to containers and freeze until firm.
Notes
- Prep time includes inactive maceration time.
- Churning time will depend on the machine and can take 20 minutes to 1 hour.
- Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.
