Equipment

  • 1 Vitamix Blender or similar high-powered blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fairlife whole milk *I use Fairlife whole milk for an added protein boost, regular whole milk works here too.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup non-fat dry milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large strawberries stems removed, sliced
  • ¾ cup freeze dried strawberries I use the Trader Joe's brand. They add rich strawberry flavor without watering down the ice cream
  • 4 cups ice cubes *you can freeze whole milk in ice cube trays and use milk cubes or ½ milk cubes/half ice here

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  • Select Variable 1, then quickly increase the speed to Variable 10, then high.
  • Use the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades. In 30-60 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and 4 mounds will form.
  • Immediately stop the machine and pour into serving dishes.

Notes

*You can pour the ice cream into a loaf pan, press wax paper into the top to remove any air pockets and freeze for several hours for a scoopable texture. However, for the best taste and texture serve immediately when prepared. 
*See post for Ninja Creami option.
