Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 tablespoon Barlow’s Strawberry Syrup
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: extra Barlow’s Strawberry Syrup for swirling or topping
Cooking Instructions
1: Prepare the Strawberries
In a bowl, combine:
2 cups chopped strawberries
3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1/4 tbsp Barlow’s Strawberry Syrup
Mix well and let sit for 20–30 minutes until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
Lightly mash for a chunkier texture or blend for a smoother base.
2: Make the Ice Cream Base
In a separate large bowl, whisk together:
Heavy cream
Whole milk
Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Stir until fully combined and smooth.
3: Combine
Fold the strawberry mixture into the cream base.
For a stronger swirl effect, do not fully mix—leave ribbons of strawberry throughout.
4: Churn the Ice Cream
Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions (about 20–25 minutes) until thick and creamy.
If you don’t have a machine, freeze in a shallow container and stir every 30–45 minutes until set.
5: Freeze & Set
Transfer to a container and freeze for at least 4–6 hours until firm.
6: Serve
Scoop into bowls or cones and finish with:
-
Extra Barlow’s Strawberry Syrup
-
Fresh sliced strawberries
-
Crushed cookies or waffle pieces for crunch
Creamy, fruity, and perfectly seasonal—this strawberry ice cream captures peak summer flavor in every scoop.
