Creamy, fresh, and naturally sweet, this homemade strawberry ice cream (with ice-cream maker) is a family favourite! Made with real strawberries and just a handful of simple ingredients, it is a perfect summer treat the whole family will love!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups strawberries, trimmed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup whipping cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix the chopped strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out the juices.
-
Mash the strawberries slightly with a potato masher to break them down (don’t fully purée—you want some texture!).
-
Stir in the cream, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
-
Chill the mixture in the freezer for 10 minutes, or refrigerate until ready to churn.
-
Pour into your ice-cream maker and churn according to your machine’s instructions (mine took about 20 minutes).
-
Serve immediately for soft-serve texture, or freeze for a few hours for a firmer scoop.
-
Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving—it’ll scoop like a dream.
