Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

There was a moment of calm when I doled out the homemade strawberry ice cream cones. On the faces of my daughter and two little friends who were at our house last weekend – ages 2, 3 and 4 – were looks of focus, determination and, dare I say, intensity as they sought to catch every creamy pink drop on their tongues. All direct eye contact was averted. When I asked my little girl what she thought of her treat she broke concentration long enough to look up, smile and reply, “It’s so tasty!” Then it was back to business.

The kids were right to savor each lick. This strawberry ice cream was unbelievably rich and fruity (made with a whole pound of fresh California strawberries). We’ve entered the time of year when I keep my ice cream maker insert in the freezer at all times just in case the mood strikes to churn some out.

The only thing that makes this ice cream better…

  2. I LOVE that you put in big chunks of strawberries at the end. So many store brands don’t have the real chunks and that’s what I always hope for… big chunks of real strawberries. Totally saving this to try sometime since I just got an ice cream maker!
