Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream (Easy Recipe)

Step 1

Mash 2 cups of fresh, ripe strawberries in a bowl. Set them aside for later use. Gather all of the ingredients.

Transfer your strawberry ice cream to a lidded air-tight container after churning. Cover and freeze until it's firm enough to scoop.

Step 5

Serve your homemade strawberry ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy!
