I love berry based ice creams. It is creamy dreamy treat. Desserts are always a thing to look forward to. Whether it is a bliss balls, praline or a scoop of vegan ice cream. It gives you a perfect end to the meal. If it is something which is made naturally even better. I remember having softy with my dad as a weekend outing. One of the sweetest memories I can say. Now, I love making my own ice cream at home.
We love picking strawberries at Bacchus Marsh and enjoy making many recipes at home. It is a perfect treat when they are in season as they are naturally sweet. Be it vegan strawberry jam ,strawberry smoothie or strawberry crush. Other vegetarian recipes you can make are eggless Linzer cookies a.k.a strawberry jam drops and strawberry modak. Vitamix strawberry ice cream recipe is just as good as it gets!
You can get an instant ice cream with Vitamix container unlike regular blender. Also it gives me best results with frozen or fresh fruit. Of course, silky soft ice cream can be frozen later too to get that ice cream brick consistency but it has opened a can of joys with all its capabilities. It is a do-it-all machine which helps home cooks achieve all their treats. Sound of the motor might be high for a few minutes, like all high powder blender, but the smile on my bubba's face beats any noise it makes. Vitamix strawberry ice cream recipe will put on your face too!

Frozen or fresh berries?
I love the vibrant colors. Berries are just like bananas. Grab them and eat it fresh when at a farm. I end up eating blueberries on my way home fresh from the local vegetable market. They help me get an instant energy rush without relying on chocolate. They are great for anti-oxidants too. Also, the best anti aging remedy.
Best part about berries is they are full of flavor. Put it on your pavlova, cake or a simple smoothie and enjoy! Eggless blueberry cake works great with coffee and if you want a cold treat the recipe below will just be it.
You may use frozen or fresh strawberries to make this. I love eating them fresh and storing some when they are in season. Storing them in food graded zip lock pouches helps me enjoy my smoothies even when they are not in season.

Earlier I used to use Cuisinart ice cream maker to make my ice cream many years ago. It was good at that price point and gave good results too. However, it needs bowl to be frozen at least 24 hours earlier. That means, I needed to empty my freezer first to fit the bowl too. I tried making it in a high-powered blender like Ninja but even then ice cream mixture needed time to set. Sometimes you do not want to wait. Then I tried Vitamix and it was such a surprise. It help me make amazing ice cream recipes whether it was vanilla ice cream, coconut milk ice cream or chocolate ice cream. Just in 30-45 seconds without any additives like guar gum, xanthan gum or egg yolks and heavy cream. creamy ice cream is perfect for a snack on a hot day. Ice cream flavor too bursts with the flavor of my favorite fruits.
