Notes

Strawberry: Fresh and frozen strawberries both work for this recipe. The only difference is cooking time. Frozen strawberries will melt as soon as it thaws in the pan. strawberries look lovely in the ice cream.
Cream: The cream is the main ingredient. Use heavy cream or whipping cream that doubles upon whipping. Avoid over whipping and reaching the butter state.
Lemon: Skip lemon juice for sweeter and less tarty ice cream.
Food color: Strawberry gives lovely light pink color to the ice cream. So you can easily skip it.
Swirly strawberry ice cream: To make swirls, add little sugar while cooking strawberries,  strawberry syrup is sweet. Add vanilla essence instead of cooked strawberries in the cream base in step 4. Add strawberries on the top later in step 6 and create swirls with a stick.
Chunky strawberry ice cream: For this cut strawberries into smaller chunks and cook it for fewer minutes than mentioned in the recipe only until the strawberries are a little soft. This will release some water from strawberries and won't let them freeze in the ice cream.
