This homemade strawberry ice cream is bursting with real berry flavor. Made with fresh strawberries cooked into a purée and folded into a creamy base, it’s smooth, rich, and naturally pink—no food coloring needed.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk
  • 1 ¾ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp tapioca starch
  • 1 ¼ tsp glucose syrup (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for strawberry purée)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, simmer strawberries with 1 tbsp sugar for 10 minutes until soft. Blend into purée and let cool.
  2. In a separate saucepan, combine milk, cream, sugar, and glucose syrup over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. In a small bowl, mix tapioca starch with 2 tbsp milk to make a slurry. Stir it into the hot base.
  4. Cook 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Stir in the strawberry purée. Chill the mixture in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Churn in your Cuisinart ice cream maker until soft-serve texture.
  7. Transfer to a container and freeze 2–3 hours until firm.

Notes

  • Use ripe, in-season strawberries for best flavor.
  • Add a touch of lemon juice to the purée for extra brightness.
  • Great topped with fresh strawberries or crushed graham crackers.
