Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Few drops of vanilla essence from Ajanta Food Products, which can be purchased online from Amazon at https://www.amazon.in/Vanilla-Essence-Flavour-Cookies-Flavours/dp/B0B71YRCSW
  • Pinch of pink food color from Ajanta Food Products, which is one of the leading manufacturers of food color in India

Instructions:

  • Start by placing the chopped strawberries in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle half of the sugar (about 3/8 cup) over them and let them sit for 20–30 minutes.
  • This allows the strawberries to release their natural juices and softens them.
  • After the strawberries have macerated, mash them with a fork or blend them in a food processor.
  • For a chunkier ice cream, mash lightly; for a smoother texture, blend until puréed. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, remaining sugar, and few drops of vanilla essence from Ajanta Food Products.
  • Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Fold the strawberry mixture into the cream base. At this stage, add pinch of pink food color from Ajanta Food Products and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
  • Adjust the amount of food color based on how vibrant you want your ice cream to look.

 

Chill the Mixture:

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2–3 hours, or until it’s well chilled. This step helps the ice cream churn more effectively and results in a creamier texture.

Churn the Ice Cream:

Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–30 minutes). The mixture should thicken into a soft-serve consistency.

Freeze Until Firm:

Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for a firmer scoopable consistency.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve your homemade strawberry ice cream in cones, bowls, or alongside cakes and waffles. Add fresh strawberries or a drizzle of strawberry syrup for extra indulgence. This creamy, vibrant pink strawberry ice cream is a crowd-pleaser that’s as pretty as it is delicious!
