Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh ripe strawberries, hulled and halved

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the halved strawberries and granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat and let them sit for about 30 minutes, allowing the strawberries to release their juices.

    Mash the Strawberries: After the strawberries have macerated, lightly mash them with a fork to create a chunky puree, leaving some pieces whole for texture. Stir in the lemon juice and set aside.

      Mix the Base: In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

        Combine: Fold the strawberry mixture into the cream mixture. Make sure to mix thoroughly, ensuring that the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout.

          Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) to chill.

            Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft serve consistency, typically about 25-30 minutes.

              Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. For a firmer texture, freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving.

                Serve: Scoop the strawberry ice cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or whipped cream. Enjoy your homemade treat!
