Homemade Ice Cream - Strawberry Recipe

Submitted by RecipeTips.com
This easy homemade ice cream with the fresh flavor of strawberries is a great treat anytime of the year.
Homemade  Ice Cream - Strawberry Recipe
PREP: 6 or more hours
COOK: 10 minutes
READY IN: 6 or more hours
Ingredients
  • 3 cups quartered strawberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 cups chilled whipping cream
Directions
  • Clean strawberries and cut into quarters. Place in a bowl and mash slightly. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of sugar and stir until mixed in thoroughly. Set strawberries aside.
  • Pour the milk into a heavy saucepan. Over medium heat bring the milk to a gentle simmer (approximately 175° F) or until it begins to bubble around the edges. Remove from the heat.
  • After removing from the heat, add remaining sugar and salt to the milk and stir until completely dissolved. Add half and half, vanilla, and whipping cream. Stir until well blended. Pour into a bowl and allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, cover with plastic wrap and allow the mixture to age in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or up to 24 hours). This aging process will produce ice cream with more body and a smoother texture.
  • Finish mashing strawberries to desired consistency (this should make approximately 2 1/2 cups of sauce). Cover the strawberries and place them in the refrigerator until just before adding them to the ice cream.
  • After aging (chilling) the mixture, remove from the refrigerator and stir. The ice cream is now ready for the freezing process.
  • Follow the ice cream maker's instruction manual on the freezing process.
  • When the ice cream has thickened, but is still too soft to scoop, add the strawberries and stir until they are evenly distributed. Or, add the strawberries and start the ice cream maker churning again to stir them into the ice cream. Some makers have an opening in the top that is used to add flavorings as the ice cream is churning.
  • Once the strawberries are mixed in, scrape the ice cream into another container with an airtight cover. Be sure to leave at least 1/2 inch head space for expansion. Place the ice cream in the freezer for several hours to harden before serving.

Servings:
Change Servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, cooled
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (1 1/4 ounce packet)
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 7 cups flour, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
Directions
Place milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Melt the butter in the microwave and set aside.

In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, combine yeast, warm water and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Let the yeast get bubbly.

Add the rest of the sugar, honey, milk and 3 1/2 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Beat together for 2 minutes.

Add butter, eggs and salt. Mix well.

Remove the whisk attachment and start using the hook attachment from here. Add the rest of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough begins to separate from the sides of the bowl.

Let it rest for 3-5 minutes.

Knead the dough in the bowl for 5 minutes. Add flour 1 Tablespoon at a time if the dough seems sticky. Get out a large bowl and grease it with butter.

Remove dough from the mixing bowl and place in the greased bowl. Flip it around till the entire outside is nice and shiny. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to double in size, approximately 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

Once the dough has doubled, smash it down with your fists for about 1 minute.

Roll the dough out to about a 1/2 inch thick. Then fold the dough in half, now making it 1 inch thick, and roll over with a rolling pin to seal it together.

Cut the dough into 2-inch squares.

Place the dough on a greased baking sheet, 2 inches apart, and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to double in size again, approximately 1 hour.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Immediately rub the tops with a little bit of butter for that fabulous shine. Enjoy!
