Tips
Here are some tips to make sure your strawberry ice cream turns out perfectly:
- Make sure your ice cream maker bowl is frozen before you start making the ice cream. This will help the mixture freeze faster and result in a creamier texture.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe. Simply pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the strawberry puree before adding it to the ice cream mixture.
