Strawberry Ice Cream Like Ben and Jerry's

By bsterna

Good enough to be served at Ben & Jerry's. Use fresh, good-quality ingredients. I love to make this during strawberry season. Plan to refrigerate berries in sugar for 1 hour before making ice cream.

Ingredients

• 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1 Combine strawberries, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar in a mixing bowl, set aside in fridge for 1 hour.

2 In large mixing bowl beat eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

3 Gradually add 3/4 cups sugar, mixing well. Stir in milk and vanilla and mix well.

4 Add strawberries with juice and mix well.

5 Gently stir in whipping cream just until combined.

6 Pour into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.

7 I use a Donvier ice cream maker that doesn't require ice or salt and it works great!
