The first time I made this I tried adding fresh strawberries as a mix-in into the ice cream after being blended. This made the ice cream too watery for my liking.

When I made it again I added the strawberries to the ice cream mixture and froze all together. This yielded a more strawberry ice cream consistency!

I hope this quick and delicious sweet treat brings a little bit of joy to your Valentine’s day!
