– **Quantity**: Typically, you’ll need about 1 pound (450 grams) of fresh strawberries for this recipe.
– **Tip**: If you want a more intense strawberry flavor, you can add a small amount of strawberry extract to enhance the taste.
#### 2. Heavy Cream
Heavy cream is what gives homemade ice cream its rich and creamy texture. It adds a silky mouthfeel and contributes to the smoothness of the final product.
– **Quantity**: About 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy cream.
– **Tip**: If you want your ice cream to be extra creamy, you can add a little extra cream or replace a portion of the cream with half-and-half.
#### 3. Whole Milk
Milk helps create a smooth base for the ice cream and lightens the richness of the cream. Using whole milk will give you a creamy but balanced texture.
– **Quantity**: You’ll need 1 cup (240 ml) of whole milk.
– **Tip**: If you prefer a lighter version, you can use 2% or skim milk, though the texture will be less creamy.
#### 4. Granulated Sugar
Sugar is essential to sweeten your ice cream and balance the natural tartness of the strawberries. Depending on how sweet your strawberries are, you may need to adjust the sugar amount.
– **Quantity**: 3/4 to 1 cup (150 to 200 grams) of granulated sugar, depending on your sweetness preference.
– **Tip**: You can also use other sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a unique twist, though it may affect the texture slightly.
#### 5. Lemon Juice
A small amount of fresh lemon juice enhances the strawberry flavor and adds a subtle, zesty freshness to the ice cream.
– **Quantity**: About 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of fresh lemon juice.
– **Tip**: Don’t overdo the lemon juice—just a little bit will brighten the flavors of the strawberries.
#### 6. Vanilla Extract
Vanilla adds a lovely, aromatic flavor that complements the sweetness of the strawberries and enhances the overall taste of the ice cream.
– **Quantity**: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of pure vanilla extract.
– **Tip**: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. Imitation vanilla can be used in a pinch but may not have the same depth of flavor.
#### 7. Optional Add-Ins (for extra flavor)
While not essential, you can add extra flavor or texture to your strawberry ice cream. Here are some ideas:
– **Crushed graham crackers** or **biscuit crumbs** for a crunchy texture.
– **Chocolate chips**, **crushed nuts**, or **swirls of strawberry jam** for a fun twist.
– **A few tablespoons of crushed meringue** for a light, airy crunch.
