Summertime means lots and lots of fresh strawberries from the garden. The best way to use those strawberries? By putting them into homemade ice cream! This strawberry buttermilk ice cream is made with lots of buttermilk, so it has a nice tang to it and the strawberries balance it out with the natural sweetness they contain. There's also a lot of little flecks of vanilla bean throughout the ice cream too! Just scoop a generous amount of this fruit goodness onto a cone or just enjoy by the spoonful straight out of the container. No judgments here.
Change it up!
Not sure if strawberry buttermilk ice cream is your thing? You can always replace the strawberries with blueberries. That would be incredibly delicious too! Or you can use regular whole milk instead of buttermilk but I can't promise you that it will have the same consistency or turn out well in general.

Products I recommend for making this dessert.
Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. I highly recommend starting off with the cuisinart ice cream machine as your first ice cream maker. It's the cheapest one on amazon and I personally use it and love it! I also suggest getting a reusable ice cream container as well, it's dishwasher safe and you can use it over and over again!
