This is from my Cuisinart ice cream book that came with our ice cream freezer. The Cuisinart book also says to make sure you put the freezer bowl in the freezer at least 24 hours ahead of when you plan to make your ice cream. Notice this recipe states whole milk; do not substitute 1% or 2% milk or skim milk....whole milk will help with the freezing.
Strawberry Ice Cream
8 ounces very red, ripe strawberries (fresh summer berries or frozen berries, thawed)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup whole milk (do NOT substitute skim milk)
1-1/3 cups heavy cream
Place strawberries, sugar, vanilla and whole milk in a blender jar or food processor fitted with the metal "s" blade and blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 40-50 seconds. Pout into a bowl and stir in heavy cream. If not making ice cream immediately, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Turn on ice cream maker and pour in the ingredients. Allow to mix and freeze until of desired consistency. Begin checking for consistency after 12-15 minutes of freezing. If ice cream is not thick enough, pour back into the freezer and continue freezing until desired consistency is reached. Check every few minutes.
Makes ten 1/2-cup servings
