Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of strawberries)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the halved strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently and let sit for about 15-20 minutes to macerate. This will enhance the sweetness and flavor of the strawberries.

Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the strawberries to release their juices but leave some chunks for texture. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.

In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully mixed, being careful to maintain the fluffiness of the whipped cream.

Once combined, fold in the macerated strawberries with their juices, ensuring the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.

Freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid. For best texture, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
