Strawberry Vanilla Dream Ice Cream Delight 🍓🍦✨
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Toss to coat them well and let them sit for about 10 minutes until they release their juices.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, the remaining sugar (about 1/2 cup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Gently fold the macerated strawberries into the cream mixture, ensuring you retain some of the berry chunks for texture.
- Pour the combined mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve scoops of the strawberry vanilla ice cream in bowls or cones, and if desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves.
