Sinfully Rich Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

When my girls were little, we used to have "Ice Cream Parties" where the two little boys down the street would come over for fresh ice cream. This recipe is full fat...full calories...and tastes ever so good! You need a ice cream machine for this recipe. I used to keep my ice cream canister always in the freezer and have the right amount of strawberries chopped and placed in freezer bags for the winter months... when we wanted to pretend that it was summertime! I would take this strawberry cream mixture to dinner parties and curn up fresh ice cream for dessert...then have everyone moaning in bliss!!! This makes up alot of ice cream, so the whole recipe might not fit in some of the smaller canisters
