SUPERFOOD Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

SUPERFOOD Dreamy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream!

It's snowing as I write this, so it's not exactly ice cream weather here in Michigan, but when you have kids (and you're a dessert-aholic like myself), any day is good for ice cream.  Since this is Kent's favorite flavor, I decided it was time to use some of the strawberries in my freezer.  As I explained recently in the vanilla/chocolate ice cream post, this is a dessert and has sugar, yes, but it's full of nutrients!  Only 3/4 cup of sweetener (real maple syrup) in the whole batch, not too bad as desserts go, and you can slip so many good things into this recipe…

I “Nourishing Traditionized” a strawberry ice cream recipe that I found, and then I added a bunch of superfoods (with no taste so no one has a clue) to make it even better!

This fits perfectly in this 2 quart ice cream maker.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Servings: 2 quarts
Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

For the first step:

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen thawed ripe strawberries, sliced
  • 4 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 1 large (I use organic lemons when I can find them)
  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup

Other Ingredients:

  • 2 egg yolks, be sure you use good quality eggs from a local farmer who raises healthy pasture-fed hens…I wouldn't recommend eating raw eggs from the grocery store.
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 heaping Tablespoons Colostrum powder, for improved gut health and extra creamy dreamy texture and flavor!
  • 1 scoop Collagen
  • 6 caps of these probiotics, I don't do this every time, but since my kids won't take them regularly, sometimes I just slip them in here!
  • 1 Tablespoon Arrowroot Flour
  • 3 cups heavy cream/whipping cream, preferably raw, but for sure NOT ultra-pasteurized (FYI: you can do any combination of cream or milk, the more cream, you guessed it, the creamier it'll be! Usually I'll make it with 2 cups cream and 1 cup raw milk to get some healthy bacteria and other goodies in there, and if I have raw cream from the farm too, even better!)

Instructions

  • Combine berries, lemon juice, and maple syrup and stir gently. Let set for 2 hours (or overnight) – I never think to do this part ahead like I'm supposed to, though, and just skip that step and it's still good.  Strain the berries, reserving juices. Mash or puree half the berries and set aside. (If you have frozen berries, cook until soft, cut in half, then strain, etc.)
  • Mix everything except the pureed berries together in a deep bowl with a stick blender.  Pour into ice cream maker and process according to instructions.  5 minutes before mixing is complete, add the reserved sliced strawberries and let mix in completely.
  • Serve and enjoy!

I'd love to know which you think is better, this homemade strawberry ice cream, the chocolate ice cream, OR the vanilla ice cream? I thought this was the best strawberry ice cream I've ever had…but nothing beats chocolate in my world!

    This looks so good! I’m just wondering what the arrowroot powder does for this recipe? I have everything but that on hand and am wondering if it’s necessary? Thanks!

      Hi Brieanna! You could for sure make it without, it’s just that the arrowroot helps the ice cream be a little more smooth and creamy and not to turn icy in the freezer in spots. Ours doesn’t usually last that long to worry about it anyway, though. 🙂

    I made a peach version last night and it was Delish!! I used the strawberry ice cream recipe and just swapped the strawberries for 3 cups pureed peaches.

    It was a little sweet for me, but I’m assuming that’s because peaches are just naturally sweeter than strawberries. To cutdown on sweetener, maybe try adding some peach puree to the strawberry version.

    It was so yummy that I’ve pureed 6 bags of pureed peaches (3 cups each) and put them in my freezer to have ready to make peach ice cream anytime we want it.

    Thanks!!

    Just wanted to let you know we tried your recipe this morning for breakfast! The kids were pleasantly surprised to be having ice cream for breakfast. And it was divine, by the way. (I also got the very same ice cream maker for Christmas THIS year.) 🙂
    Thanks for all you do!!

    We started with Sally’s vanilla ice cream recipe and, I believe, improved it, by increasing the egg yolks, using half and half honey and maple syrup, and adding a touch of salt. That gives a rich sweetness that feels more balanced to my body than maple alone. Maple seems to tweak my blood sugar more than honey.
    Then if you want to substitute sucanat or rapadura sugar for the honey/maple, it becomes a nice buttescotchy/caramel flavor, but not overly sweet like those flavors often are.
    And adding a Tb or 2 of ginger to taste makes a lovely ginger ice cream.

    Funny thing is, you don’t even taste the maple syrup, either! It just tastes like the dreamiest ice cream ever. 🙂

    Thanks for popping in!

        Sorry I don’t, but at this post (https://kellythekitchenkop.com/2008/10/best-vanilla-andor-chocolate-ice-cream.html) you can see the amounts for the 1.5 qt. choc and you could just fudge it with your best guess from there.

    I love how you healthified ice cream. I never would have thought to use maple syrup with strawberries. Going to have to try it. Thanks for sharing!

    Love your tag line!

    Yeah, honey sweetened ice cream tastes very strongly of honey, which doesn’t always work well.

    I buy grade B dark maple syrup, which does taste stronger than the paler Grade A lighter varieties, so grade A may be the way to go if maple flavor is notdesired. But Grade B is cheaper, too.

    I tend to use maple syrup for making complementary ice cream flavors, like pumpkin, vanilla, spices, nuts, coffee (hey, flavors of baking!). For fruit flavors I just use sugar, again only about 1/2-2/3 cup per batch.

    Coffee has always been one of my favorite ice cream flavors because it wasn’t too sweet like too many others (even before I was a low sugar girl). Rich cream and coffee, what a combo!

    The only thing better to add is salty chocolate covered nuts . MMMmmmmm!

    One more thing I forgot to add: once I tried making ice cream with honey and that’s ALL I could taste – I like using the M. Syrup – it’s much better!

    Hi Mary,

    I don’t taste the maple syrup at all, but Julie commented at the post for the chocolate/vanilla ice cream and said that she uses 3T. of vanilla or it just tastes like maple syrup to her (although I didn’t think so, but I am going to try it with more vanilla soon and I adapted the recipe at that site). In the chocolate recipe I think there’s enough chocolate so you don’t taste it, and in this one, there’s enough strawberry flavor.

    I’ve never tried making ice cream with anything but sugar. Does the maple syrup give it a maple flavor?

    Anna,

    If you feel like posting your espresso recipe here, I’m sure many would love to try it. I’m like a little kid when it comes to “mixing” some foods though – I like my coffee to be straight (no sweeteners) and my sweets to be only sweet (no coffee flavor), but most people love those together.

    Yum, yum, I love homemade ice cream (but of course, I use a bit less maple syrup, about 2/3 of a cup).

    Our family’s favorite is espresso!

    I make ice cream in a freezer bowl accessory for my Kitchenaid stand mixer. One less machine to store. Something to consider for those with a KA stand mixer.

    I grew up in Upstate NY, where ice cream is eaten all year, not just in hot weather. When I was in college in a small Upstate NY town, I waited tables at Friendly’s; ice cream was just as popular in winter as in summer. Somewhere I read the Northeast leads the nation in per capita ice cream consumption. I wouldn’t be surprised.
