Instructions

Preparation

Puree the strawberries in a blender.
1.1 lb strawberries
Pour them through a fine sieve so no seeds are in your juice.
Whisk with the lemon juice and put for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Put all the ingredients (including the sugar) in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the best results.

Strawberry ice cream (no ice cream machine)

Beat the cream with the sugar until it's yogurt thickness.
1 cup cream, 1¼ cup sugar
With a spatula, mix the mascarpone and vanilla extract through the cream.
1 cup mascarpone, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add the strawberry puree and whisk it through the cream.
Pour it into a freezer box and let it freeze for at least 3 hours.

NOTES

1. Cold: When making ice cream, it is very important (for the best result) that you pre-cool the ingredients (even the sugar) before you start.

2. Strawberries: You could also use this recipe for making blueberry, raspberry, or peach ice cream.

3. Variations:

For the chocoholics: Add small pieces of chocolate (about ⅓ cup) to the ice cream.
Also delicious: Top with roasted walnuts or pecans.

4. Serving: You can probably scoop it right out of the freezer if you're using it within 24 hours. Otherwise, you may have to let the ice cream stand for 5 minutes before you can scoop nice balls.

5. Ice cream maker: If you want to make this in the ice cream maker, you can do that too by using the same ingredients. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer.

6. Storage

Freezer: You can store the no-churn strawberry ice cream for one month. When ice crystals appear on the top (freezer burn) in the meantime, throw it away.
