There is just something special about homemade ice cream and especially when it is strawberry because it is bright and sweet and a little messy which makes it feel just like summer itself.

I still remember the first time I tried making it using the KitchenAid attachment and I didn’t pre-freeze the bowl which was a total rookie mistake so the result turned out to be strawberry soup and even though it was delicious it definitely wasn’t what I had in mind.

Now I have mostly figured it out and honestly it has turned into a little tradition because every June we start the season by making a batch while the windows are open and the kids sneak tastes right in the middle of the churning which makes it chaotic and perfect at the same time.

Have you ever tried making your own ice cream at home because if you haven’t then trust me you are going to love this one since it is creamy and fresh and super easy once you understand how to use the attachment and by the way the color is so pretty that it is totally Instagram-worthy.

Just make sure not to blame me if you end up eating half of it before it even gets into the freezer.

Ingredients :

How to Make Strawberry Ice Cream KitchenAid Attachment

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is prepare the strawberries. Slice the strawberries and place them in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of sugar and lemon juice optional. Let them sit for 20–30 minutes until soft and juicy. Then, mash them gently with a fork or blend them if you prefer a smoother ice cream.

Step 2

Now start preparing the ice cream base. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the crushed or blended strawberries and mix well, and Chill the mixture For best results, chill the whole mixture in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. You can also chill it overnight. Cold ingredients help the ice cream freeze faster and creamier.

Step 3

Make sure your ice cream bowl has been frozen for at least 15 hours before using it. Attach the frozen bowl to your stand mixer, place the dasher that’s the paddle that churns, and lock it into place.

Step 4

Now it’s time to whip the ice cream. Turn the blender on “stir” or low speed, and slowly pour the cooled ice cream base into the bowl. Let it whip for 20–30 minutes, or until the ice cream is thick and smooth like soft serve ice cream.

Step 5

Finally, you can freeze the ice cream until it’s firm. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the surface with a spatula, cover, and freeze for two to four hours, or until firm. Then scoop it out and enjoy!
