Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
Good morning! I’m so excited to share this delicious Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream recipe with y’all today. My middle brother made it yesterday. He combined two recipes from an old Southern Living cookbook and it turned out lip-lickin’ good. We begged him to make it again for the 4th of July!
My parents raise goats and milk them every day. My sweet momma learned to milk goats when she was six years old and she’s been doing it ever since. It’s such a blessing to have fresh milk and it makes the BEST ice cream!
Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
- 5 cups milk
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 eggs, beaten
- 4 cups milk
- 1 3/4 Tablespoons vanilla
- 3 cups mashed fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
Heat 5 cups of milk in a large saucepan over low heat until hot. Combine sugar, flour and salt. Gradually add sugar mixture to milk, stirring until blended. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Seriously, you have to stir constantly so it doesn’t scorch.
Gradually stir about one-fourth of the hot mixture into the five beaten eggs. Add to remaining hot mixture, again stirring constantly. Cook one minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Chill at least two hours. And allow your stirring arm to rest. 🙂
Combine strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar and let sit. Combine 4 cups of milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add chilled custard, stirring with a wire whisk. Add strawberry mixture and mix well.
Pour into the freezer can of a one gallon hand-crank or electric freezer. Freeze according to your ice cream freezer instructions. After the ice cream is frozen, let it sit for two hours for a wonderful texture and consistency.
Yield: 1 gallon
Do you make homemade ice cream? A friend bought me an ice cream freezer a few years ago and I’ve never used it. If you have a favorite recipe, I would love for you to leave it in a comment! 🙂

The strawberry ice cream sounds delicious. Our favorite is chocolate…3 ingredients….1/2 gallon choc. milk, 1 can condensed milk, 1 small container of cool whip. Whisk condensed milk into chocolate milk, fold in cool whip…pour in your ice cream freezer. It will not get really hard so you may have to turn your freezer off when it gets thick. Mine starts getting bogged down and I stop mine. Cover it with a towel and wait as long as possible. Tastes like a Wendy’s frosty. You could also stir in your favorite crushed candy bar…butterfingers, peanut butter cups, etc.
I’ve been wanting to make homemade ice cream for awhile. I just need to get a ice cream maker! Do you recommend one?

That was the best homemade goat milk ice cream we’ve ever made! 🙂 I was amazed that without half-and-half or whipping cream, it turned out so creamy! 🙂
This recipe looks really good, but I too was surprised that there was no cream. I suppose using whole goats milk might be what makes the difference.
I love making custard style ice cream, even though we don’t have an ice cream maker. If the recipe has enough fat and sugar it still turns out great just stirred up in the freezer.
