Equipment

  • Ice Cream Maker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup half and half
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Allow to sit 15-20 minutes, or until the strawberries have released their juices.
  • Mash the mixture with a potato masher, fork, or pastry cutter until there are no longer any large strawberry pieces.
  • To the strawberries, mix heavy cream, half and half, and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow your manufacturer's instructions. You can eat the ice cream soft-serve, or freeze it in an airtight container for 3-4 hours to thicken it up slightly.
  • For best results, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften before serving.

Notes

If you puree the strawberries, I would suggest only using ⅔ - 1 cup of strawberries, as the liquid consistency can make the ice cream less creamy if you use the full 1 ½ cups. The prep time refers to making the ice cream and does not include the chill time.
