Ingredients
Fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups (Pureed and hulled)
Half-and-half
1/2 cup (None)
Heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (None)
Sugar
1/2 cup (None)

Instructions
1
Begin by thoroughly washing and hulling your fresh strawberries. Puree 1 1/2 cups of the strawberries in a blender until completely smooth. If you enjoy larger strawberry chunks in your ice cream, reserve 1/3 of the strawberries and slice them to mix in later.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pureed strawberries with half-and-half, heavy whipping cream, sugar, and the egg or egg substitute. Whisk the mixture together until the sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are well incorporated.
3
If you opted for larger strawberry chunks, gently fold them into the mixture now.
4
Chill the ice cream mixture in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes, allowing it to become cold and ready for churning.
5
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your electric ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
6
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to achieve a firmer texture before serving.
