STRAWBERRY VANILLA ICE CREAM

 STRAWBERRY VANILLA ICE CREAM 

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar (optional, depending on strawberry sweetness)

INSTRUCTIONS:
If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and chop them into small pieces.
Blend the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Leave a few small chunks if you prefer texture in your ice cream.
In a cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk using a spatula to keep the mixture airy.

Add the strawberry purée and vanilla extract. If you’re using sugar, add it now. Mix gently until well combined.

Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.

Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for 4–6 hours, or until firm.

Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier scooping.

Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade strawberry vanilla ice cream!
