Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, mangoes, peaches, or blueberries)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)
Directions
Step 1
Wash, hull, and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces if necessary.
Step 2
Blend the fruit with the sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth. If you prefer smoother ice cream, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds or pulp.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fruit puree, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Whisk until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 5
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up.
Step 6
Serve the ice cream scooped into bowls or cones and enjoy!
