The most delicious homemade Strawberry Ice Cream from scratch! It is so creamy and rich and filled with strawberry chunks. And best of all, it is very easy to make, an eggless and no-cook recipe - that requires an ice cream maker. A summer dessert everyone will love!
Wash the strawberries and cut them up into small chunks. Put them in a large mixing bowl and add granulated sugar, honey, and lemon juice. Mix until the strawberries are evenly coated.
Place the mixing bowl into the refrigerator and let it sit for 30 minutes. The acid from the lemon juice and the sugars soften the strawberries and release their juice.
Depending on how big you would like your strawberry chunks, you can mash them with a fork or a potato masher to make the pieces smaller. I skipped that step since I like bigger strawberry chunks in my ice cream. If you prefer smooth ice cream, you can blend the strawberries in a blender or food processor
Add the heavy cream and the half & half to the strawberry mixture and stir a few times.
Pour the mixture into the already running ice cream maker. Starting it before pouring in the mixture will help achieve an evenly frozen ice cream and prevent the mixture from freezing stuck to the bottom of the bowl.
Freeze according to your ice cream maker's instructions. Mine took about 25 minutes.
Scoop the ice cream into a big container, cover it up, and place it in the freezer for 3-4h before serving. This will help firm up the ice cream and allow the flavors to blend together.
