Strawberry Vanilla Dream Ice Cream Delight

In a bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice.
Mash the strawberries with a fork or blend lightly to release some juice but leave some chunks for texture.
Set aside for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2: Make the Ice Cream Base
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, 3/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Combine the Strawberry Mixture with the Base
Add the strawberry mixture into the cream base, stirring gently to combine. You can either blend it fully for a uniform pink ice cream or leave some strawberry chunks for added texture.
Step 4: Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it thickens and reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 5: Freeze and Serve
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Once ready, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
Tips:
For an extra touch, drizzle with chocolate sauce or top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can place the mixture in a shallow dish and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Enjoy your Strawberry Vanilla Dream Ice Cream Delight – a perfect summer treat!
