Easy Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Instructions:

1. Combine the strawberries, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until the berries break down and the liquid thickens into a syrupy consistency.
3. Remove from heat and blend the mixture until smooth.
4. Let the strawberry reduction cool completely in the refrigerator.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the chilled heavy cream, whole milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar has completely dissolved.
6. Slowly stir in the cooled strawberry reduction until the mixture is a uniform, pale pink.
7. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20–25 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
8. Transfer the churned ice cream to a chilled container and freeze for at least 4 hours to ripen the texture.
