Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
This recipe would work equally well with any fresh fruit.
equipment required
Ice Cream Maker
Blender or Food Processor
ingredients
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (35%)
1 cup Half and Half cream (10%) or evaporated milk
1 to 1 1/2 cups strawberries puree or any other frozen fruit (fresh fruit put through a blender to puree plus a few extra to slice and fold in later if you like)
1 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
method
Hull and wash strawberries and slice in half into a blender or food processor. Blend until fruit is pureed. Transfer to a freezer-proof container and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Remove fruit puree from the freezer, measure out 1 to 1 1/2 cups and pour back into the blender. Add the cream, the half and half and the sugar and blend until the ingredients are well mixed.
Add to your ice cream maker and process according to manufacturers instructions. Transfer to a freezer container and freeze to ripen.
If you like chunks of fruit in your ice cream, reserve some strawberries to fold into the ice cream before placing in the freezer.
