My Favorite Strawberry Ice Cream

Strawberry season is here, and there’s no way we can miss out on our family’s favorite dessert—strawberry ice cream!

Every year, as soon as strawberries are ripe for picking, I know it’s time to whip up something special. There’s something so satisfying about transforming fresh, juicy strawberries into a creamy, dreamy treat that everyone loves.

After we picked a few pounds of fresh strawberries, I made a batch of homemade strawberry jam, which served as the perfect base for this ice cream.strawberry ice cream 3 new

I sprinkled freeze-dried strawberry crumbs and sugar sprinkles on top of the ice cream for an extra burst of flavor and a fun, decorative touch (though they’re totally optional).

To take things to the next level, I paired the ice cream with homemade waffle cones—my kids were absolutely thrilled, and I couldn’t blame them. It’s hard to resist such a delightful combination!

Did I mention how easy it is to make this ice cream? With just a few simple steps, you can create a luscious, creamy dessert right in your own kitchen.

If you already have homemade strawberry jam like I do, the process becomes even quicker and more convenient.strawberry ice cream 4 newstrawberry ice cream 2 new
