Ingredients

Scale

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a bowl, combine strawberries and sugar; let sit for 15-20 minutes until syrupy.
Blend the strawberries until smooth (or leave some chunks for texture).
In another bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Gently fold in the strawberry puree.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions until soft-serve consistency is achieved (20-30 minutes). If no ice cream maker is available, freeze in a shallow dish, stirring every hour for about four hours.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
