ℹ️ As a passionate home chef, there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of creating homemade ice cream from scratch, especially when it’s bursting with the vibrant flavors of ripe strawberries. My Italian-style homemade strawberry ice cream recipe is a delightful treat that captures the essence of summer in every creamy scoop. With just a handful of simple ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can whip up a batch of this decadent dessert to impress your family and friends. Join me in the kitchen to create a refreshing and indulgent frozen delight that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering!

ℹ️ Ingredients:

  • 500g (17.6 oz) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 200g (7.1 oz) granulated sugar
  • 500ml (2 cups) heavy cream
  • 250ml (1 cup) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

ℹ️ Instructions:

  1. In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberry puree and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Stir in the cooled strawberry mixture until evenly incorporated.
  5. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  7. Serve the homemade strawberry ice cream scoops garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  8. Enjoy your delicious Italian-style homemade strawberry ice cream!

Note: For a creamier texture, you can add 2-3 tablespoons of vodka or a liqueur like Limoncello to the mixture before churning.
