Dreamy Creamy Strawberry Ice Cream

By broots

Ingredients

• 1 lb. fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled and sliced*
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp. vodka or kirsch (optional)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the sliced strawberries in a medium bowl with the sugar and vodka. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a blender or food processor and add the sour cream, heavy cream and lemon juice. Pulse briefly until almost smooth but still slightly chunky. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

*Note: I highly recommend using organic strawberries for this recipe. The flavor is worlds better than their more artificial counterparts.
