STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Follow steps 1 & 2 in original ice cream recipe above then:

🍓 When to Add Fresh Strawberries:

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
•    Wash, hull, and finely chop or mash 1 to 1½ cups of fresh strawberries.
•    Optional: Cook the strawberries down slightly in a pan with 1–2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for 5–7 minutes, then cool — this prevents icy chunks and intensifies flavour.

Step 2: Add to the Mixture
•    After beating the cream with an electric beater and folding in the sweetened condensed milk, gently fold in the prepared passionfruit.
