Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 2 lemons, juiced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup white sugar, divided
• 1 lemon, zested
• 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium bowl; stir gently. Cover the bowl and let macerate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Step 2

Mix together milk and remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, vanilla, and some juice from strawberries, but not berries themselves.

Step 3

Add mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

About 10 minutes before ice cream is finished, purée most of the strawberries in a food processor or blender, reserving a few strawberries for garnish. Add puréed strawberries to the ice cream maker for the last 5 minutes of churning. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
