What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with a bowl of fresh homemade strawberry ice cream? Earlier this week I mentioned that I bought a big box of strawberries… I’m talking two pounds. We had a few that were getting overly ripe… I knew exactly what to do with them. I pureed them and made ice cream! Fresh fruit ice cream is always a favorite of mine and strawberry is certainly no exception. It’s easy to make, freezes while you’re cleaning up and is ready to go in a couple of hours. This morning we’re headed to a breakfast, parade and then later tonight we’ll be watching fireworks from the stadium. When we get home guess what we’ll be diving into a bowl full of? Yep.
Strawberries & Cream Ice Cream
Ingredients
1½ c. heavy cream
1 c. whole milk
1 vanilla bean, scraped
3 large egg yolks
¾ c. + 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 c. fresh strawberries, hulled and pureed
4. Remove immediately and pour through a mesh sieve into a large clean mixing bowl. Place the bowl over an ice bath to cool and then place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly (approximately 25-30 minutes).
5. Pour mixture into ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Churn for approximately 25-30 minutes.
Gorgeous! Oh, and super delish. 🙂

The ice cream is so delicious looking. I make ice cream with cream and no milk. My husband who grew up in an ice cream making business said that using some milk makes the ice cream harder Does yours scoop out well? I really want to make this. Thank you.
