Grab those fresh berries, and make this super creamy Strawberry Ice Cream! Perfect on a hot summer day.
Ice Cream all day every day! Yes, I'm a little obsessed with my ice cream maker, no I didn't get it for free. I paid for it at Target, and it's amazing.
It churns like the old green one from my childhood days. I'm totally not knocking no churn recipes, there is a time and place for those. I've made plenty, but nothing beats the creamy texture from churning.
You may have noticed I've been on an ice cream kick these days...Blueberry Ice Cream, Rainbow Sherbert, and now Strawberry Ice Cream! See ice cream kick.
Right now I have all three in my freezer plus part of an ice cream cake leftover from 4th of July, and I'll be sharing that asap with y'all.
I mean I've made an ice cream cake before, but y'all this one is truly an ice cream cake...not just all ice cream in cake form. ha!
Anyway, let's talk about this homemade strawberry ice cream. It's creamy and bursting with fresh strawberries.
Now, I'm going to just tell y'all like it is, that pink color isn't real. In fact I was trying to make it red for 4th of July...you know the whole red, white, and blue dessert thing, but I put I don't know, maybe a teaspoon of red food dye in this, and it turned this color.
I wasn't about to add anymore than that. Kelsie and I decided that we'd leave it as is...all pretty and pink. Which means that you can totally leave that food coloring out!
There are seeds in this ice cream, as you can clearly see from the photos. If you don't like them, then I'd suggest you puree the berries completely and strain them out.
Seeds aren't hurting anything, and I wanted chunks of strawberries, so I allowed them to stay.
How to mash up strawberries for homemade strawberry ice cream:
- I washed them up, quartered them, and tossed them into a bowl.
- I used my handy pastry cutter, which wasn't the best tool for the job, and mashed away. In hind site, I'd have used a beater from my handheld mixer. The berries kept getting stuck inside the blades(?) of the pastry cutter. You could even use your hands, if you had little kids that wanted to get messy in the kitchen. I for one would never do that. That's just me though. Your kitchen, your rules! 🙂 My kitchen, my rules. My kids have always been allowed in the kitchen, but I've taught them from the start...clean, clean, and clean some more!

Notes
You do not have to heat the mixture at all, unless you are worried about the raw eggs. It's totally up to you.

I've never made ice cream, and I love how fresh this looks. I usually don't see things like chunks of fruit in ice cream, so this looks especially appealing. I'd like to give this a try sometime!

We make homemade ice cream all the time because store bought stuff tends to be contaminated when it comes to my kids food allergies. Nice recipe will keep handy.
