Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: additional chopped strawberries for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot and the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
4. Once the mixture is heated through and the sugar is dissolved, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Stir in the pureed strawberries until well combined.
6. Cover the saucepan with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
7. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
8. Once chilled, pour the strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
9. Transfer the churned strawberry ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
10. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
11. Garnish with additional chopped strawberries, if desired, and enjoy the fresh and fruity goodness!
