The ingredients you will need:

- Sugar
- Heavy Cream
- Whole Milk
- Vanilla Extract- We used Nielsen Massey Indonesian Pure Vanilla Extract
- Honey
- Salt- We used sea salt, but you are welcome to use table salt.
Tools:
- Ice Cream Maker- We used the Cuisinart Flavor Duo Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker.

How to make Strawberry Ice Cream
Step 1: Puree 2 cups of strawberries and sugar using a hand blender or food processor.
Step 2: Let it sit for 10 minutes.
*** The reason for this so the strawberries can soak in their own juices and the sugar will absorb.
Step 3: In a large bowl add the strawberry puree, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together until combined.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to ice cream maker manual instructions.
Step 5: 5 minutes before the churning process is done add in the ¼ cup of the chopped strawberries.
***You, don’t want to do add the fruit too early because it will just sink to the bottom or mush into the ice cream mixture.
Step 6: You can serve this ice cream as soft-serve ice cream or let it freeze for 2-3 hours. We prefer to let it freeze. The ice cream has more time to harden and have a better texture and flavor.
And that is it. How easy and fast was that? The only question now is how will you eat your homemade Strawberry ice cream? In a bowl, a cone, on top of a cookie or brownie, or maybe even drink it as a milkshake.
