Strawberry Ice Cream
We took the kids picking more berries. This is delish.
2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled, with some reserved
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup sugar, divided
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Combine strawberries, lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar in a blender or food processor. Pulse until berries are coarsely chopped. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Remove berries from refrigerator and return to blender base. Add eggs and milk and whip until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually incorporate remaining sugar (3/4 cup) and vanilla. Add whipping cream to blender and whip until well blended.
Pour into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.
Top ice cream with reserved berries before serving.
Optional: Instead of freezing the whole batch, scoop out of the ice cream maker into ice-pop molds and freeze for ice cream on a stick.
