Preparation
Step 1
Remove the stems and leaves from the strawberries and rinse in cold water.
Place the strawberries, lemon juice and the sugar in a food processor and process until liquefied.
Add the water and run the food processor until all the mixture is smooth.
Whip the cream with a wire whisk until it begins to thicken slightly and becomes the consistency of buttermilk.
Mix the cream and strawberry mixture in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Recipe Notes:
* try using milk instead of water for a creamier texture, using water the consistency is more like a sorbet.
**To avoid ice crystals try making your mix ahead of time and refrigerating it for 12 -24 hours to get it very cold. Also chill the canister that the ice cream is being made in if possible by placing it in the freezer for 24 hours. Then place the finished ice cream in the coldest part of the freezer.
This will speed up the freezing process which should help reduce the ice crystals.
***adding an ounce of alcohol will also help reduce the ice crystals.
