Description
A homemade strawberry ice cream with a silky texture and bright berry flavor, made in 20 minutes with an ice cream maker. Balanced sweetness, no alcohol, and halal-compliant.
Ingredients
2 cups mashed strawberries (ripe, at room temperature)
2 cups whole milk (minimum 2%)
2 cups heavy cream (substitute 1/2 coconut milk + 1/2 whipping cream if desired)
1 cup white sugar (alternatively 3/4 cup honey)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 drops red food coloring (optional for vivid hue)
Instructions
Combine strawberries, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves completely. Add food coloring (optional) to brighten hue. Chill mixing bowl 30 minutes for better emulsion. Freeze ice cream maker bowl for at least 1 hour prior. Pour mixture into chilled ice cream maker, attach lid, and churn for 2-3 minutes until soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a pre-chilled airtight container with silicone lid, smooth top with spatula, and freeze uncovered for 2 hours. Cover and freeze an additional 2 hours until firm.
Notes
Use strawberries with 90+ Brix for natural sweetness. Scrape mixing bowl frequently to avoid sugar clumps. Chill container before pouring for better texture preservation. Store in freezer up to 2 weeks. Substitute sugar with honey for a 30% reduction in sweetness, adjust to taste.
