Equipment
- Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker (any model)
- Baking sheet
- Blender or food processor
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Plastic wrap or airtight container
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 3 tablespoons sugar for roasting
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional, to brighten flavor
Instructions
- Step 1: Roast the Strawberries
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread the sliced strawberries on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Roast for 15 minutes or until the strawberries are soft and syrupy. Let them cool completely.
- Step 2: Puree the Berries
- Once cooled, blend the roasted strawberries into a smooth puree. You can leave a few chunks if you like texture in your ice cream.
- Step 3: Make the Ice Cream Base
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining ¾ cup sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Step 4: Chill the Base
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Step 5: Churn It Up
- Pour the chilled base into your Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and churn for about 15–20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, slowly add the strawberry puree.
- Step 6: Freeze to Firm Up
- Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving for a firmer texture.
Notes
Chunky Lovers: Reserve some chopped strawberries to fold in for texture.
Dairy-Free: Substitute coconut milk and coconut cream for a tropical twist.
Honey Option: Use honey instead of sugar for a more floral sweetness.
Swirl it: Add a strawberry jam swirl before freezing for bursts of extra berry flavor.
Add crunch: Fold in crushed shortbread cookies or white chocolate chips for a fun variation.
