Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

06/14/2013 14 Comments

There is nothing better than adding fresh fruits of the season to homemade ice cream.

This is the height of berry season and I like to use whatever berries I can get from the farmer’s market.

If you don’t have access to fresh berries or if they are too expensive you can definitely use frozen berries.

I always keep frozen berries in the freezer and use them when I can’t get to the store and I need berries.

There are dozens of recipes for homemade ice cream.  I often make our ice cream dairy free and sugar free.  This week though we used a blend of coconut milk and half and half.

For this recipe I adapted the basic vanilla ice cream recipe from the recipe booklet included with the ice cream machine and then I added in fresh strawberries and chopped chocolate squares.

Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

Print

Basic Vanilla Ice Cream recipe adapted from Cuisinart Instruction Booklet

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped strawberries
  • 1-2 TBLS. granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (or use whole milk)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (OR use agave nectar & taste for sweetness)
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 1/2 TBLS. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate

Directions

  1. Chop the strawberries and sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, taste for sweetness before adding the full amount of sugar. Set aside to macerate for about an hour.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl combine the milk and sugar and use a hand mixer on low speed to dissolve the sugar, it takes a couple of minutes.
  3. Stir in the half and half and vanilla and place the bowl in the refrigerator to keep cold until the strawberries have released some of their juices.
  4. Take half of the strawberries and mash them with a fork and add that and the juice to the milk mixture.
  5. Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream maker according to manufacturers directions.
  6. About 5 or 10 minutes before the ice cream is frozen add the remaining strawberries and the chopped chocolate and let the mixture continue to churn for the remaining 10 minutes.
  7. It will be a soft serve consistency. If you wish you can transfer the soft serve to another container, cover and place in the freezer for a couple of hours.

    This sounds yummy. I love strawberry ice cream and making it with coconut milk sounds even better than the usual type.
