Strawberry Gelato

1 pound fresh strawberries

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

 

Remove the stems and leaves from the strawberries and rinse in cold water.

Place the strawberries and the sugar in a food processor and process until liquified.

Add the milk and run the food processor until all the mixture is smooth.

Whip the cream with a wire whisk until it begins to thicken slightly and becomes the consistency of buttermilk.

Mix the cream and strawberry mixture in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions. Serves: 6-8
