Delicious! Scrumptious! Perfect!
I followed this recipe but I don’t eat dairy and avoid refined sugar so I subbed coconut cream (the thick cream from the can) and almond milk equa ratios to the recipe. I used 1tsp of vanilla extract and 3.5 TBS of dark grade A maple syrup. I also used 1/2 of a frozen banana. This came out absolutely delicious! Tastes better than what you would get at an ice cream shop and the consistency is so smooth and delicious. I am going to take this recipe and try making new recipes based off of this! Delicious!

It is workable
The recipe is ok! Me personally I would use heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar! Sweetened condensed milk is easy to make by adding a cup of sugar to two cups of whole milk and cook on stove top for about 25-40 minutes with a pinch of baking soda and a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Ot is better than eagle brand and works wonderful for all flavors of Ice cream!

I made it vegan
I substituted cashew milk for the regular milk and coconut cream for the heavy cream. I also added one frozen banana. I used no sweater as I'm trying to lose weight. It came out delicious but it might not be sweet enough for some. I can't wait to try more flavors or different fruit as it came out very well for me. I'm definitely making this again.

Incredible
I just got my new Vitamix today...this was the first recipe we tried. I have NEVER had such good strawberry ice cream in my life. We followed the recipe exactly, except we used liquid vanilla extract in place of the paste. Yumyumyum.

I followed the recipe exactly and it's perfect
My first ice cream and I happened to have all ingredients on hand. Even vanilla bean paste. The day before I washed and cut the berries in half and froze them on a baking sheet. I used shelf stable heavy whipping cream from Trader Joes because I had some.in the cupboard. Made it by weight and it's so creamy and delicious and very strawberry-yy. Not too sweet but not lacking sweetness. It's perfect.
