Strawberries and cream – even the words conjure up images of sumptuous, yet somehow innocent, indulgences. You’re not dreaming of 15th century France, however: this is a genuine dairy ice cream; entirely lactose free, and easily made in your own kitchen. Pro tip: Choose strawberries at their peak of summertime ripeness for transcendent sweetness and flavor.

NOTE: This recipe is for a 2 Qt ice cream maker. If using the more common 1.5 QT, be careful not to overload. Use the extra mixture in smoothies!
