Simple Strawberry Ice Cream
Serves about 8.
Prep time: >5 minutes
Chill time: 3 hours+
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups ripe strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons low-fat milk (I used 2%)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup light cream
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons pure strawberry preserves
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries and lemon juice together. Cover and let sit.
- In another bowl, whisk the sugar, low-fat milk, heavy cream, light cream, vanilla and strawberry preserves together with a whisk until combined (and sugar is dissolved).
- Mix in 1 1/4 cup of the strawberries and cover with saran wrap. Chill for at least an hour.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into the freezer basin of your ice cream maker. Turn on and let churn for about 15 minutes. Add in the remaining strawberries and churn for another 5 – 10 minutes, or until soft, thick and creamy.
- Serve immediately or freeze for a firmer consistency.
