This homemade Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is a creamy, luscious treat that perfectly balances the fresh sweetness of ripe strawberries with the rich, aromatic flavor of real vanilla bean. Made with simple ingredients and churned to silky smooth perfection, it’s an irresistible dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a blender, puree the sliced strawberries until smooth. Set aside a few pieces for mixing in later.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla bean paste, and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Fold in the strawberry puree.
  4. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. In the final minutes of churning, add the reserved strawberry pieces.
  6. Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best flavor.
  • Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained before pureeing.
  • Vanilla bean paste can be substituted with vanilla extract.
  • For a chunkier texture, pulse strawberries lightly instead of pureeing fully.
  • Store ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Let ice cream soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • To prevent ice crystals, use full-fat dairy and churn properly.
