Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh ripe strawberries stemmed and sliced
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 drops red food coloring optional
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips melted
Instructions
- Start by washing your strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them into smaller pieces, catching the juice in a bowl.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer the strawberry mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.
- Fold the strawberry puree into the milk and cream mixture until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, slowly drizzle in the melted dark chocolate while churning.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
