Best strawberry ice cream recipe with secret ingredient
My favorite strawberry ice cream recipe all ovulelesswhich works with and without an ice cream machine.
Strawberry ice cream is one of the Favourite ice creams of the Germans and a Ice cream classic. As I think, quite rightly. The taste of ripe strawberries harmonizes very well with milk and has just the right balance between sweetness and acidity.
The recipe is particularly creamy with an ice cream maker. If you are still thinking about whether you want to buy a ice cream maker, my contribution can help you with a decision-making perhaps support.
This strawberry ice cream recipe has a little trick, which brings out the strawberry flavor even more. Let yourself be surprised and do not be deterred by the special ingredient. 😉
I have the recipe in the meantime modifiedso that it stays even creamier in the freezer compartment. On request, however, I have the first version of the recipe inserted again below.

Tips for strawberry ice cream
- For this recipe Balsamic vinegar used. Like the lime juice, the acidity emphasizes the Strawberry flavour and strengthen it. Make sure you use a good balsamic vinegar (e.g. Giuseppe Giusti Riccardo Giusti Aceto Balsamico di Modena Balsamic Vinegar of Modena 3 Gold Medals in Cubica bottle (1 x 0.25 l) from € 21.29 (€ 85.16 / l))* to use. And don't worry, the vinegar won't taste off.
- A nice variation is to add under the strawberry ice cream very spearmint finely chopped there.
- Strawberries should be used as much as possible buy locally or the berries in a strawberry field pick yourself. In addition, for berries Organic quality very important, because the whole fruit is eaten and on the surface the pesticides are particularly concentrated.
- When it is not the season, of course, you can frozen strawberries use. These are also available in organic quality.
- Strawberries suffer from long transport times. One should therefore prefer strawberries from the local region.
- Strawberries are very pressure sensitive and easily perishable. After transport, it is best to store loosely spread in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
Hello,
no binder is needed here?
Many greetings,
Sven
Hello, Sven,
thanks for your question. The recipe does have a slightly higher water content and without a binder it will be relatively hard in the freezer. However, not everyone has the various binders at home and the recipe works just fine for me without a binder. Especially if you eat it the same day 😉 If you still want to modify it to be able to store it longer, I would start with 20g dry glucose, 18g skim milk powder and 1g locust bean gum. But maybe you have already done a test yourself?
Kind regards
Hello,
could you possibly have the "old", i.e. not revised, recipe for me again? we loved it, also because I didn't need too many ingredients. unfortunately, I didn't copy it 😕
Me and my kids would be super happy 🤗
Kind regards
Tine
Hello Tine,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I had thought back and forth about whether I should also leave the old recipe on the site and then decided against it so that it remains clearer. But I'm happy to put it back online 🙂
I have adapted the instructions to my current knowledge of how best to make ice cream. But I think you were only concerned with the quantities of ingredients, weren't you?
Kind regards back
Thank you very much! Yes, I tried it once by memory, but it didn't work. As a beginner, I'm still struggling with the quantities. I also don't have inulin, skimmed milk powder and co. at home 🙂
Thank you again 😊
I'd love to. By the way, I can't memorize the recipes either and always have to cheat 😉.
