Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 pinch salt
6 waffle cones
Instructions
- Purée chopped strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the purée with heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until fully blended.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- When ready to serve, scoop into waffle cones.
- Optional: Fold in extra chopped strawberries or drizzle melted chocolate before freezing for added texture and indulgence.
Notes
- Use frozen (thawed and drained) strawberries if fresh are unavailable.
- Cut back sugar if berries are very ripe or increase slightly for tart berries.
- Try waffle, sugar, or gluten-free cones—or make your own!
- Dip cone rims in chocolate and coat with toppings for a fun presentation.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping for best texture.
