Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

With warm weather, pool parties and Summer vacations it’s nice to have a healthier treat to indulge in that satisfies your cravings while keeping you cool. Few desserts are as irresistable as homemade ice cream. No more low-fat, high sugar store-bought junk filled with skim milk, corn syrup and ingredients you can’t pronounce. Although the idea may seem daunting, making fresh, flavorful homemade ice cream is easier than you think. In fact, all you need is a blender and some high-quality ingredients. Now you can enjoy something sweet without breaking a sweat!
