I doubled the recipe for my ice cream maker. After a hour aging in the freezer, it was rich and creamy with a wonderful flavor of fresh strawberries. A word of caution. Eat it all when you make it. I put the leftover ice cream in the freezer. The next day, it had ice crystal though it and had the texture of sherbet.
