Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe For Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker
There's nothing quite like homemade ice cream, and with the Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker attachment, making your favorite frozen treats has never been easier. In this article, we'll show you how to make a delicious and refreshing strawberry ice cream using fresh strawberries and the Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Before you begin, make sure the freezer bowl for your Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker has been frozen for at least 15 hours. It's best to keep it in the freezer at all times so that it's always ready to use.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped strawberries and vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
- Attach the frozen ice cream maker bowl to your Kitchenaid Mixer and turn it on to the "stir" setting.
- Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker bowl and churn for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and is the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect strawberry ice cream:
