Yummy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

For our second challenge, we decided to make some homemade strawberry ice cream using our Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. We have tried it before, and haven't been very impressed, but we decided to give it another shot! I have to say, it turned out AMAZING!! This will be a common homemade ice cream around our house! We had a great time making it and even added some chocolate dipped strawberries as an extra treat!

Here's the recipe:

Base Ice Cream:
Found in the Cuisinart Recipe book
2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1 cup whole milk, chilled
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Strawberries:

Cut berries into quarters or however desired.
For every 4 cups of berries, add 1/2 C. of Sugar.
Leave berries at room temp. for berries to juice and dissolve sugar.
(you can also freeze these to save for other times!)

Place ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and combine until well blended. Pour into freezer bowl, turn the machine ON and let mix until thickens, about 20 - 25 min. Add strawberries and juice from the strawberries. Remove ice cream from freezer bowl when strawberries are well mixed in the ice cream. Eat immediately or freeze for firmer ice cream.

YUMMY!!
