Simple Strawberry Ice Cream

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2/3 cups sugar
1 1-lb box strawberries

Wash and trim the caps off the strawberries. Then cut berries into slices that are approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Puree 1/2 of the sliced strawberries in a food processor or blender, and set aside.

Combine cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Add in the strawberry puree and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator until completely cool to the touch. While the custard is chilling, dice the remaining sliced strawberries into smaller pieces to mix in the ice cream.

Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once the ice cream is done freezing mix in the diced strawberries, and pour into an air-tight container.  Freeze for an additional 2 hours.
