Making this delightful ice cream is an enjoyable and straightforward process. You’ll start by letting the strawberries sweeten a bit, which enhances their flavor and creates a beautiful syrup. Meanwhile, you’ll whip up the creamy base that marries beautifully with the fruit. This recipe is all about layering flavors and textures.

For this delightful treat, gather the following ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream

Note that you can swap heavy cream for half-and-half for a lighter version, but the texture will be less creamy.
