Notes
Do not break up or mash strawberries while cooking so that you get small strawberry chunks in the ice cream.
You will have some leftover strawberry sauce that you can use as a topping. Only 1 cup of cooked strawberries is needed for this ice cream recipe.
Do not over-beat whipped cream. Stop once stiff peaks form for smooth and creamy ice cream.
