Strawberry Ice Cream

This Summer has been an exceptional season for Strawberries.  They are sweet and juicy.  I have been having it for breakfast either with cereal or in juice.  The harvest has been so abundant, they are selling for as low as 50 cents a pound at the local markets.  So, I decided to uses them to make some homemade strawberry ice cream.  It's a hit for both children and adults.  The recipe is very simple.  So, if you happen to have an ice cream maker, do give it a try.

Ingredients:
2 cups of fresh strawberries (cut in quarters)
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 cup of whipping cream
1 cup of milk

Directions:
1.  Follow your ice cream maker's instruction and freeze your freezer bowl ahead of time.
2.  Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
3.  Pour mixture into the pre-frozen freezer bowl and turn on the machine.
4.  Let the turn until the mixture is thicken, approximately 20-25 minutes.
6.  Pour the ice cream into a box and put in freezer for 4 hours to set before serving.

Variations:
Some great fruit variations in flavor are mango, peach, raspberry, avocado, pineapple, and of course, the king of fruit, Durian!!!  Simply substitute the strawberries with the fruit of your choice.

Enjoy and stay cool!
