Strawberry Ice Cream




This is the best strawberry ice cream ever! If you like Frosty Strawberry Squares, you'll like this ice cream.


1 container (24 ounces) frozen sweetened strawberries, chopped into large (frozen) chunks
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 ½ cups (12 ounces) heavy cream

Place frozen berries in a blender. Whisk sugar into cream. With blender running, slowly add cream-sugar mixture, stopping to stir 3 or 4 times, until ice cream is smooth with small bits of strawberries. Transfer to an ice-cream freezer and freeze until soft-serve consistency. Place in airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.

  2. This recipe also works with 2 cups of cream, if you don't want to have 1/2 cup left over. It's just a little more creamy-flavored than strawberry-flavored.
