Cream Strawberry Ice Homemade Clever Crafty Cookin Mama

Okay y'all, it's time to talk about one of my favorite things in the world: ice cream. And not just any ice cream, but homemade ice cream. There's something about the process of making it yourself that just makes it taste extra special. So today, I want to share with y'all a couple of recipes for strawberry ice cream that I found online.

Cuisinart Strawberry Ice Cream from Abraxas Cookshop

This first recipe comes from a place called Abraxas Cookshop. I ain't never been there myself, but if they're making ice cream like this, I might have to make a trip.

Now, onto the recipe itself. Here's what you'll need:

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
Pinch of salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

First things first, you'll want to combine the strawberries and sugar in a bowl and let them sit for about 15 minutes. This will help the strawberries release their juices and create a nice syrup.

Next, heat the milk and salt in a saucepan until it's just about to boil, then remove it from the heat and let it cool for a bit.

In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream and vanilla together until it's nice and fluffy. Then, add the strawberry syrup and the cooled milk to the bowl and stir everything together.

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and let it churn for about 25 minutes, or until it's nice and thick. Transfer it to a container and freeze it for at least a couple hours before serving.

Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe from Cuisinart

Now, if you're looking for a slightly different take on strawberry ice cream, I found this recipe from Cuisinart that's worth trying.

Here's what you'll need for this one:

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

As with the first recipe, you'll want to combine the strawberries and a bit of sugar in a bowl and let them sit for a bit. But instead of adding them to the ice cream mixture, you'll be turning them into a sauce to swirl into the ice cream later.

First, heat the milk and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Then, let it cool down a bit before adding the cream and vanilla. Stir everything together.

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and let it churn for about 25 minutes. While that's happening, puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor.

Once the ice cream is done churning, transfer it to a container and swirl in the strawberry sauce. Freeze it for a couple hours before serving and enjoy!
