Easy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Ingredients:
– 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt

Directions:
1. Start by tossing those fresh strawberries into your blender and blending them until you have a smooth puree. If you love a bit of texture, feel free to chop up some extra strawberries to use as a topping later.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix it all together until it’s well blended and creamy.
3. Gently fold in the strawberry puree. You want everything to be nicely combined, so take your time here.
4. Now, if you’re lucky enough to have an ice cream maker, pour your delicious mixture in and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
5. No ice cream maker? No problem! Just pour the mixture into a shallow dish and pop it in the freezer. Make sure to stir it every hour for about 6 hours to get that creamy texture we all love.
6. Once it’s ready, scoop generous portions into bowls and, if you saved some earlier, top with those diced strawberries for an extra treat.
