You can find it in the canning/preserving section of Walmart or a grocery store. It helps keep the ice cream from sticking to the ice cream maker and improves the creamy texture of the ice cream.Ĭitric acid: This really makes the strawberry flavor pop. Vegetable glycerin: I don’t recommend omitting the vegetable glycerin.
#Strawberry ice cream free#
Feel free to add more sweetener if desired. Xylitol does cause digestive upset in some people and is poisonous to dogs so I understand that not everyone wants to use it, but you may sacrifice scoopability if you substitute other sweeteners. Xylitol is part of the key to the scoopability of this ice cream, so substituting other sweeteners could change that. It’s important to use a xylitol based sweetener (like Gentle Sweet) because xylitol keeps the ice cream scoopable after being in the freezer overnight. Sweetener: THM Gentle Sweet (made with xylitol) is my favorite sweetener to use for ice cream because it provides the best balanced sweetness and creamy, scoopable texture of any sweetener I have tried. Possible additions: natural peanut butter for a PB&J flair, almond extract, a pinch of cardamom, the chocolate chips from this mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe RECIPE INDEX BY FUEL TYPE/ALLERGY/THEME.Puree made from fresh or frozen strawberries will work in this recipe. Frozen whole strawberries = a 24 ounce bag yields about 3 cups of puree.Fresh strawberries = a little over 2 cups of puree per pound of berries.And of course you can find it on page 229 of Necessary Food. If you know and love the original recipe, I’m providing it below the recipe card in this post so you can still access it. I’ve learned a few things about ice cream making over the years. The recipe in the recipe card below will have a better texture when frozen long term.

That recipe is lower in fat, and it’s great – but it’s best fresh as a soft serve.
#Strawberry ice cream update#
This Classic Strawberry Ice Cream recipe is an update of the recipe found on page 229 of Necessary Food, my first cookbook (originally published to the blog in April 2016). You can always top the ice cream with some sliced fresh strawberries or a “syrup” of mashed frozen/thawed strawberries with a little sweetener, though. I don’t recommend adding chunks of strawberry to the ice cream – they will freeze solid. the chocolate chips from this mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe.

Some possible additions for this strawberry ice cream are… It’s important to use a xylitol based sweetener (like Gentle Sweet) because xylitol keeps the ice cream more scoopable after being in the freezer overnight. I’ve also used a combination of xylitol and stevia with success, but I do slightly prefer the texture using THM Gentle Sweet. I prefer THM Gentle Sweet (made with xylitol) for ice cream because it provides the best balanced sweetness and creamy, scoopable texture of any sweetener I have tried. What kind of sweetener is best for sugar free ice cream? You can find citric acid in the canning/preserving section of Walmart or a grocery store…or buy it online. Just let it warm up on the counter for a few minutes before eating for the ultimate experience.īelieve it or not, this really makes the strawberry flavor pop! I used it in this Creamy Strawberry Gello Salad for the same reason, and I have a few other strawberry recipes in the works that have benefited from it as well. This strawberry ice cream (as written) is scoopable right out of the freezer – no problem – but I do like to enjoy it on the meltier side because of the higher water content of the strawberries. Typically a cooked custard base makes for a better textured ice cream, but the combination of cream, glucomannan, vegetable glycerin, and THM Gentle Sweet (made with xylitol) ensures that this no cook strawberry ice cream has a velvety smooth texture. Because it doesn’t get cooked, the strawberry puree is bright and pink and tastes so fresh and springy. I’m so glad I did! This one (based on my Ultimate Vanilla Bean Ice Cream recipe ) is SO easy to make and even more delicious than the cooked version was. I had a cooked version of this ice cream (with a custard base) all ready to post but decided to give a no cook version a go. You won’t need much to satisfy you as it’s quite rich! THM S, low carb This strawberry ice cream is so gorgeous and fluffy and thick.
