  3. Once macerated, transfer the strawberry mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
  5. Pour the blended strawberry mixture into the cream mixture. Whisk gently to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20-30 minutes).
