So yah, ice cream again. What can I say, it is summer after all. There will be more. Also anyone wishing to join me for ICE CREAM SUNDAY please let me know. I will post a link to your blog directing traffic there for your ice cream recipe. No need to have a fancy button, I will do it without one. This is not yet a linky party. Just me having some fun.
So this is what I made the other day. I had missed a friend of mines bday the day before as my daughter was sick. So the next day I made her some ice cream and brought it buy. Yup, this is why people love me so much. I adore my friends and not only bring treats, but listen when they need to talk, do favours for them when they are in a bind and just let them know I love having them in my lives. This is a friend I have knows for 39 years, we met when I was wee little and she said she could hula hoop better than I could. And she could, I think it was because she was 4 years older than me. But that might just be my ego talking. Anyways, did I tell ya yet I tend to go off topic. Yah, whatever, here it is.
Strawberry Ice Cream:
Source- Cuisinart
Ingredients:
1 ½  cups (375ml) fresh strawberries, hull them first
¾ cup (175ml) whole milk
â…” cup (150ml) sugar
pinch of salt
1 ½ cups (375ml) heavy cream, if you are a Canuck like me this means whipping cream
½ teaspoon(7ml) vanilla
Directions:
Hull your berries.
Put strawberries in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until satisfied with the size. Set aside.
In a medium bowl with hand mixer or in a stand mixer if you have one, whisk on low speed the milk, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves fully.
Stir in heavy cream(whipping cream for us Canucks) and vanilla.
Stir in reserved berries with juice from them as well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Take bowl out when ready for ice cream, and pour into you ice cream maker freezer bowl. (THIS BOWL MUST BE FROZEN, I JUST LEAVE MY IN THE FREEZER ALL THE TIME!)
Mix for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened.
You can either serve immediately or store in freezer until ready to eat.
If storing in freezer remember to remove about 15 Â to 20 minutes before you want to eat it.
Serve and enjoy!
*frozen berries could be used if fresh not available*
This recipe yields 5 cups and I use the 1.5 Cuisinart ice cream maker.
How jealous are you right now? Scale of 1 to 10, 10 being "you want to kill me".
Toodles and smoochies my lovely foodie friends. xx

10 but dayum.. did yours turn out looking like that? that looks so good.
I bought some strawberry ice cream two weeks ago. It was so bad, I threw it out and wrote the company with my thoughts!

Yeppers, this is mine and the pic was taken in my back yard. Lol!It took me a couple of goes with the camera. Dang stuff melts so fast. Ice cream makers are so easy to use. I wish I would have bought one years ago.

Ice cream is hard to resist in this blazing heat! Strawberry is no doubt one of the best fruits to use in ice cream. Nice belated birthday gift-Yum!
Kim Bee
Thanks Tina. It really is refreshing when it's 90 or more degrees out.
Also gratz on top 9. That recipe rocked. Loved it.
Jennifer
I'm going to join you.... even though it's freezing in the middle of Winter. I found out yesterday that my sister has an ice cream maker. So next time I see her I'll get it off her and I can join the party.
I want to make lemon sorbet. Tree is full of lemons and I'm paying $17/litre which is hideous. Surely I can make it just as good and for cheaper?!
Tori @ The Shiksa in the Kitchen
Delicious as usual! I love simple frozen desserts like this. And with all the berries at the Farmer's market, it's great to have another recipe idea to add to the list! 🙂

Jen- yah! That is great to know. And yes it will be way cheaper. I buy 2 cartons of milk, a bit of sugar and whatever fruit I need and that is it. It is so cheap to make. The milk made 3 batches. So super cheap. I am looking forward to you joining the fun.
Tori- Glad to give you an idea. Feel honoured you popped by. Left a suggestion on your fb page. I need to get organized and get these blogs on fb.
Torviewtoronto- dang I wish I knew your real name. Lol! Thanks so much.
Dzoli- I do not have a garden here yet. Perennials but not food. I had a huge one at my last place. I think it was about 50 X 25 feet which is huge for suburbia. Lol! You are lucky to have fresh stuff available. I am determined to trim some trees next year and put a garden in next summer.
Kim Bee
Jill- hopping over now. This is my first hop. I am actually nervous for some reason. lol
