A creamy and refreshing homemade strawberry ice cream made with fresh strawberries, honey, and cream. This eggless recipe captures the vibrant flavor of summer in every bite and can be enjoyed soft-serve or frozen firmer.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and diced

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup half and half

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 15–20 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
  2. Mash the strawberry mixture using a potato masher, fork, or pastry cutter until there are no large pieces remaining. For a smoother texture, you can use a blender or food processor.
  3. Add the heavy cream, half and half, and vanilla extract to the strawberry mixture. Stir until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 15–20 minutes.
  5. For a soft-serve consistency, enjoy immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 3–4 hours. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

  • For a smoother ice cream, blend the strawberry mixture until pureed before adding the cream and other ingredients.
  • Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or a splash of almond extract for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a container and stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals.
  • Store in an airtight container and consume within a week for best taste and texture.
  • Allow ice cream to soften at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
