Strawberry Ice Cream Like Ben and Jerry's

Delicious straight out of the freezer as soft-serve. I'd add a word of caution though, this recipe is for a 2-quart freezer, not the more common 1.5-quart size. This just meant that I had to eat a few extra strawberries drenched in sweet cream and vanilla. It was tough, but I made it through. My Cuisinart ice cream freezer didn't deal weal with the chunks, so I hit it with a hand blender until the strawberry goodness turned the entire mix a delicious pink.

This ice cream is amazing! I always make sure to puree the strawberries because once you put the finished ice cream into the freezer then the strawberries turn into ice chunks if left too big. I mix in crumbled up home made graham cracker crust into this and it's awesome!

I was uncomfortable with the raw eggs in this recipe, as I was going to be serving it at my 2 year old's birthday party. I followed the recipe, but after beating the eggs, sugar and adding the milk, I heated the mixture to boiling over low heat. I then added the vanilla, and cooled the mixture in the refrigerator. After cooling, I added the strawberries and cream, then placed in my ice cream maker. The texture and flavor were great, even after freezing overnight. This tastes like Bryer's strawberry ice cream. Delicious!

I made a double batch. Oops. Well, I say oops not because I regretted for even a second having more of this dreamy iced treat around but only because it didn't fit in my machine. I had to make it in 2 batches. I made this exactly as written except that I used frozen whole berrieis (1 lb for the total recipe) and skim milk for the milk part. Instead of cutting up the berries I put the whole berries with the sugar and lemon in the fridge overnight and then mashed them with a masher before putting them into the mix. I won't change a thing next time I make this....and I will make it again!

Got this from my B&J's book. But I find that ALL the B&J's recipes melt rapidly, So I always make my own changes to it.Used 1 1/2 cups low fat milk, 3/4 cup whipping cream and 3/4 cup extra light cream. Also used 4 egg yolks instead of 2 eggs. I was wondering why it didnt turn out lovely and bright pink, and resisted adding red food colouring. It has a nice subtle berry taste and I also pureed all the strawberries thoroughly

This is what homemade ice cream should taste like! Full of wonderful strawberry flavor and rich and deliciously creamy : ) This is a very simple recipe to follow and provides some very tasty results : ) I followed the instructions to the letter. I know with strawberry season almost in full swing, I will be making this recipe a lot! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, PCrocker!

I used this recipe for my very first foray into ice cream making. It was DELICIOUS. I originally used whole frozen strawberries... I won't be doing that again! For the second batch I used double the strawberries, chopping some and pureeing others, which resulted in the familiar pink-tinged strawberry-flavor-rich ice cream of my kidhood. Thanks so much for the recipe! It's now a summer standby. I can't wait 'til strawberry season!

This recipe was fantastic and very easy! The entire family loved it. I made a few changes with a great result. First I used Splenda instead of sugar and frozen strawberries as they are out of season right now. I mixed the milk, sugar and eggs and cooked to just about boiled (160 degrees) and set in the fridge to cool. Then I mixed all ingredients as directed. I made a double batch to get 4 qts. I can't wait to make it again!!

I halved this recipe and made it in a 1.5 quart cuisinart ice cream maker. This was my ice cream maker's last chance to redeem itself after several failures. I must say it worked. The texture was great and the was as well.

This was very good. Next time I will puree the strawberries. I used a cuisinart ice cream/ sorbet maker and this recipe made about a 1 1/2 cups to much to fit in it.

This was an absolutely awesome recipe! I can't write enough about the yummy custard-like background of the desert. It was very, very nice! The recipe completely filled my Cuisinart. I think next time I will chop the strawberries a little smaller. My husband complained of the ice cream being too chunky, but that didn't keep him from getting a second helping of the dessert! If you pick this recipe, you won't regret it!

This recipe is great! I mixed the strawberries, lemon, and sugar and mashed it up a bit before chilling it. I didn't pulverize it, I just mashed it enough that there was plenty of red liquid to color the ice cream pink. Because I use a kitchenaid attachment, I didn't add the strawberry mixture to the rest until the cream mixture had already been in the ice cream maker for 10 minutes. Right now the ice cream is freezing and ripening in the freezer. The taste right out of the ice cream maker is yummy, but perhaps just a touch too sweet for my palate. For most people it's probably perfect, but next time I'll add just slightly less sugar. I am very satisfied with this recipe. if you're looking for a basic, delicious, strawberry ice cream, I suggest you try this one out. Thanks for sharing.

I pureed the strawberries. I also scalded the cream and eggs, which I am shocked that the cooking of the eggs is not a part of the recipe. Next time I make the recipe, I will likely also leave out the egg whites. Use caution to not put in more strawberries than the recipe calls for. They will cause the entire mixture to get VERY hard and make it difficult to serve after being frozen.
