This Strawberry Ice Cream is sweet, creamy, and bursting with fresh berry flavor. Not only is it smooth and scoopable, but it’s also ridiculously easy to make using the Ninja Creami.

## Ingredients

- 8 oz. fresh strawberries (washed and diced small)
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar (use more or less depending on your preference)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp. lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- pinch salt

## Instructions

1. Add the small diced strawberries and sugar to an empty CREAMi™ Pint.
2. Mash the strawberries a bit using a fork, and allow them to sit for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to macerate the strawberries.
3. Once the strawberries are somewhat jammy and no large chunks are left behind, add in the heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt.
4. Stir to combine all ingredients.
5. Freeze the pint on a level surface in the freezer, with the lid off, for 24 hours.
6. Once you remove the pint from the freezer, optionally allow it to sit on the counter for ~15-20 minutes before spinning to create a smoother ice cream.
7. Place the pint in the outer bowl, and lock the lid on top.
8. Place the bowl assembly on the motor base, twist the handle right to raise the platform, and lock it in place.
9. Process on the Ice Cream setting.
10. Scrape down the sides if needed for a creamier texture.
11. Add a small splash of heavy cream or milk, and run the Respin program 1x.
12. Enjoy your strawberry ice cream.

## Equipment

- Ninja Creami
- CREAMi™ Pint
- fork
- outer bowl
- motor base
- spoon
- butter knife
- blender (optional)

## Tips

- Prep in advance: Allow your pint at least 24 hours to freeze before spinning.
- Avoid icy edges: Run your pint container under warm water for 30 seconds before running it through the Ninja Creami machine, or run a butter knife or spoon along the sides after the initial spin.
- Respins: If your ice cream isn’t smooth and creamy after the first respin, you can respin until you get your desired consistency.
- Don’t overfill the container: The ice cream will expand in volume as it spins.
- Time Saving Tip: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth, then pour into the Creami pint and freeze. However, macerating the strawberries creates super-flavorful ice cream.
- Mix-ins: Add after the Respin cycle, then press the Mix-Ins cycle. Or add them to the top after mixing.
- Frozen strawberries may be used but need to be thawed and mashed. The Creami blade is not designed to process uneven chunks or pieces of frozen fruit.
- Any type of milk can be used, but heavy cream will produce the thickest, creamiest texture.
