Strawberry Ice Cream RecipeThis strawberry ice cream recipe is just what you need for those hot summer days. This fresh tasting homemade ice cream is easy to make. If you like strawberry chunks in your ice cream, just slice up some fresh strawberries or if you like the strawberry taste without the chunks, just puree fresh strawberries. Whatever you choose, this fresh tasting strawberry ice cream is sure to hit the spot! Prep Time: 12 minutes Chill Time: 2 - 24 hours Ice Cream Maker Time: Approximately 25-30 minutes Servings: Ten 1/2 cup servings 
Ingredients:Strawberries Ice Cream Base Directions: Strawberries Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 1/3 cup sugar in a small airtight container. Place strawberry mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Leaving the strawberries, in the fridge longer will enhance the flavor.
Mix milk and sugar, allowing the sugar to dissolve (mix about 1 -2 minutes with a hand mixer or whisk). Drain strawberries, adding juice to milk mixture. Set strawberries aside. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla. Pour mixture into your ice cream maker. Mix about 20-25 minutes. Add about half the strawberries to ice cream mixture (use the other half as a fresh berry topping!). Mix 5 minutes more in your ice cream maker. Helpful Hint: If you'd like a more "intense" strawberry color, simply add a few drops of red food coloring until you achieve the color you desire. Serving Tip: Just like a cherry on top completes an ice cream sundae, strawberry ice cream looks great when served with a plump, ripe strawberry on top!
