The very berry month of May! Notice lots of strawberry recipes?? I love 'em! Almost as much as I love using my Kitchenaide Ice Cream Maker! Anyone with a Kitchenaide must invest in the ice cream attachment. Another easy, eggless recipe!
Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream
Source: Based on a recipe from Gourmet, August 2009
Ingredients
1 pound of strawberries, hulled and halved
1 ½ cup sugar
¾ tsp fresh lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
Directions
In a large bowl, coarsely mash strawberries with lemon juice, sugar and salt using a potato masher. Let stand, stirring and mashing occasionally, 10 minutes.
Using a ladle, transfer half of the strawberry mixture to blender along with cream and milk and puree till smooth. Return strawberry cream to bowl with rest of strawberries and chill till cold, 3-6 hours.
Freeze mixture in ice cream maker according to maker’s directions. This usually takes 25 minutes to 1 hour. (If this is your first attempt at ice cream, give yourself more time to avoid emotional turmoil before a dinner party.) Transfer to an airtight container and place in the back of the freezer to firm up, at least 1 hour.
Makes 1.5 quarts. Keeps in freezer up to 1 week.
