Hello hot summer! Have I got something to cool you off!
Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe
We’ve been flirting with 90° temps here in Georgia.
A few afternoon thunderstorms, starry nights and fireflies galore! It’s officially summer, even though the calendar might not agree!
Saying all that can only mean one thing, time for the ice cream machine to make an appearance.

While I was at Trader Joe’s buying the cookies, I picked up some Champagne.
It’s not a party…
it’s a simple dessert, with a beautiful fruit served in pretty refreshing green tint bowls.

Here’s the Ice Cream Maker that I have, this is my Amazon affiliate link.
Wow, this sound so good, the presentation is beautiful. I wonder if I could make ice cream using the same ingredients but instead of an ice cream maker to use my Vitamix and the freeze the mix. Any suggestions?
I’m definitely coming to visit and you can make me all your recipes so I can review them. Starting with this.
This looks sooooo good! When I have tried to make strawberry ice cream, the berries freeze so hard that it’s like chewing on little rocks when we try to eat it. Does mashing the berries prevent this? I hope so because I really want to try your recipe!
The strawberries do freeze more if you put the left over ice cream in the freezer. But right out of the machine they’re not rock solid, if left larger. Anything that goes in to a 0° freezer will freeze 😉 Happy Ice Cream eating!
Yum, looks great Debbie! 🙂 Reminds me of being a kid! xo
Pinning!
