As I had been complaining about all of the additives in most ice creams, a 'sweet' friend of mine presented me with an ice cream maker at my last birthday. This one of the old fashion variety requires ice and rock salt, but no hand cranking. While playing around with ideas, we came up with this recipe, which according to my daughter makes the best ice cream EVER (I love it, too).
You will need:
1-1/2 pounds frozen strawberries
2 cups heavy cream
1-6 oz. container vanilla yogurt
1 cup sugar
juice of 1 lemon
Put all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and hit liquefy or pulse until smooth. Then pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process until ready. The way you get from A to B will obviously depend on the type of machine you're using. In the case of my Ice cream maker we end up with a smooth semi frozen mass, which requires further freezing for a few hours, but is so worth the wait. You can also try to freeze the mixture you get from the blender, without using an ice cream maker, but it sadly never develops that creamy ice cream texture.
Since we are busily polishing off the batch we made yesterday, I am very glad, that Strawberry season is just around the corner, Yippee :)
