Food coloring (optional): A couple of drops of red food coloring can achieve the classic rosy hue associated with strawberry ice cream.
How to Make Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
Step 1: Mix the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the mashed strawberries, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, salt, and optional food coloring.
Step 2: Freeze the mixture. Transfer the mixture to the freezer bowl of an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3: Firm up the ice cream. Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until it reaches the desired firmness.
How to Store Strawberry Ice Cream
Store the strawberry ice cream in an airtight container, a recycled ice cream tub, or a zip-top freezer bag. Run an ice cream scoop under hot water before serving to make scooping easier. For the best taste, enjoy the ice cream within a few weeks.
