Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. This will serve as the base for the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavors.
- Chocolate Layer: Divide the base mixture into two equal portions. In one portion, add cocoa powder. Stir until it is fully dissolved, creating the chocolate layer.
- Strawberry Layer: In the other portion of the base, add pureed strawberries. Stir until well combined to create the strawberry layer.
- Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chocolate mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once done, repeat the process with the strawberry mixture.
- Layer the Flavors: In a freezer-safe container, layer the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream, alternating them. For a marbled effect, gently swirl them with a spatula.
- Freeze and Set: Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. Serve and enjoy this delightful treat!
Notes
Consistency: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can use the no-churn method. Simply stir the mixture every 30 minutes as it freezes to break up any ice crystals.
Dairy-Free Option: You can substitute whole milk and cream with coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version of this classic ice cream.
Flavor Variations: Try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or even sprinkles to give the ice cream a personal twist!
