Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Gently mash with a fork, then let sit for 15 minutes to macerate, releasing their juices.
- Add the cottage cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the strawberries. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the prepared ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- If not using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Stir every hour for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals (this step is less important if you macerate before freezing).
- Let the ice cream soften slightly before scooping and serving.
