This easy homemade strawberry ice cream is the perfect dessert for those hot summer days.

This past weekend, Kroger had their strawberries on sale for $1.79 a pint.

I grabbed 3 and decided to make a batch of Easy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream.

This ice cream is one of the easiest I have ever made — and the best part? There are no eggs at all in this recipe. It's creamy, delicious, so full of strawberry flavor. You will definitely want to make a batch of this for yourself — especially on those hot summer days.

How to Make Easy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

This recipe is so easy and comes together so quickly. It's my new favorite way to eat ice cream.

Start by dicing up your strawberries. You do not want to do a fine dice because you want to have bigger chunks in your ice cream. Just cut them up in a rustic chop. You need about 2 cups of diced strawberries.

Once you get the strawberries diced up, place them in a bowl and add in 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Mix to combine and then set aside for 20 minutes. You are giving your strawberries time to macerate (release their juices). After 20 minutes, take your potato masher or a fork and break up the strawberries into the juice. Then mix together again.

Once the strawberries have done their thing and released their juices, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of half and half, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla together. 

Mix well and then combine with the strawberries. Stir to combine together.

Now, depending on what type of ice cream maker you are using, follow the instructions. You can use the kind like I have — the old fashioned kind, or you can use the newer version that does not use ice.

Place the strawberry cream mixture into the canister or bowl of your ice cream maker and follow instructions.

Let run until ice cream gets to the soft serve stage.

You can eat it at this stage if you like, or you can freeze it for a couple of hours to get it to a harder ice cream stage. I like mine a little harder, so I let mine go a little longer.

Once it has frozen to your specified hardness, scoop out and enjoy on the back patio! A hot summer day is a perfect time to have a yummy easy homemade strawberry ice cream cone.
