This won 3rd prize in a homemade ice cream contest. My kids were very excited to make homemade strawberry ice cream, and I was very excited I didn't have to purchase an ice cream maker! I did use a hand-mixer to beat the ice cream after 30 minutes and after 60 minutes of freezing. I don't know if it was necessary or not. I read that it keeps ice crystals from forming. This tasted great! My husband said it tasted like a frozen strawberry milkshake. I did use more strawberries than called for and I added an extra 1/4 cup of sugar since I wasn't using sweetened strawberries.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! This is amazingly good! I tried this with another recipe once, but for some reason it didn't work like this. I love the fact that it can be made in the blender, and that you don't need an ice cream freezer, which I don't have. I was so happy with this recipe that I bought some frozen peaches, and got the same results. It's a really great recipe, Kitten, and this will be a keeper! I can't wait to try other frozen fruits! Thanks so much for sharing! Made for Strawberry event at KK's site!
