My FIrst Homemade Strawberry Icecream

Me and my Wife made Strawberry Ice-cream at home for the first time using Cuisinart's ice cream maker.

Ingredients:

Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
Best made when strawberries are at their peak of
freshness, this ice cream is light, sweet and fruity.
Makes about 5 cups (ten ½-cup servings)
1½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled*
¾ cup whole milk
2⁄3 cup granulated sugar
pinch salt
1½ cups heavy cream
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract


Method:


1. Put the strawberries into the bowl of a food
processor fitted with the chopping blade. Pulse
strawberries until rough/finely chopped (depending
on preference). Reserve in bowl.
2. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed
or whisk to combine the milk, sugar and salt until
the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and
vanilla. Stir in reserved strawberries with all juices.
Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker; pour the
mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until
thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. The ice cream
will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer
consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an
airtight container and place in freezer for about 2
hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes
before serving.
*Frozen strawberries may be substituted if fresh
strawberries are not available.
