Gather a few simple ingredients for homemade ice cream.
Process strawberries until roughly chopped. Combine milk, sugar and salt until well combined. Stir in cream, vanilla and chopped strawberries.
Chill the base mixture for at least a couple of hours. Be sure your ice cream maker bowl has been frozen according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. I always keep the bowl in the back of the freezer so it’s ready to go when we want to make homemade ice cream.
Follow the instructions for your ice cream maker to freeze the chilled base mixture. Ice cream will be the consistency of soft serve, but if you like it firmer, simply place it in a freezer bowl and put in the freezer for a couple of hours.
