Instructions:
1. Prepare the Strawberry Swirl:
- In a saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the strawberries are soft and the mixture has thickened into a syrup.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
2. Make the Ice Cream Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- If using a vanilla bean, slice it open, scrape out the seeds, and add them to the mixture. Alternatively, you can add 2 tsp of pure vanilla extract.
3. Churn the Ice Cream:
- Pour the ice cream base mixture into your ice cream maker and churn for 20–25 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy.
- Gently fold in the cooled strawberry swirl, creating beautiful streaks throughout the ice cream.
4. Freeze Until Set:
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a storage container.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours (or until firm) before serving.
5. Scoop & Enjoy:
- Serve the creamy ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy every fruity, creamy bite!
💡 Tips:
- Top with fresh strawberries, white chocolate shavings, or whipped cream for an extra-special touch.
- For a twist, add a swirl of caramel or drizzle with honey!
This recipe is perfect for hot summer days or any time you want a refreshing and luxurious homemade treat. Enjoy! 🍓🍦
