Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb strawberries (about 4 cups – previously frozen strawberries can be used if thawed)
  • ⅔ cup sucanat / rapadura
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 2 cups cream
  • natural red food dye (optional - I didn’t use any in the ice cream pictured)
  • 2 tbsp rum or vanilla extract made with vodka or rum (optional)

Instructions

  • Trim tops off the strawberries and cut them in half. Place them in a bowl along with lemon juice, salt and sucanat, then mash with a potato masher.
  • Pour strawberry mixture into a blender with the cream and rum if using. Puree until smooth. (If you have an immersion blender, you can puree in the bowl.)
  • Cover and chill for at least four hours. I usually make mine a day in advance and chill overnight.
  • Pour mixture in an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Enjoy right away as a soft-serve, or transfer to a container and place in the freezer until firm.

Notes

*This keeps the ice cream from becoming as hard as a rock. As I mention in my post on making homemade eggnog, Appleton Estates rum is non-GMO. I prefer not to add rum in this recipe, so I let the ice cream soften at room temperature for a little while prior to serving.
