I love making homemade ice cream, and of course, my kids love it too. We’ve been experimenting with some different flavors. My kids love adding Oreos and making cookies and cream ice cream.

My favorite so far is making homemade fresh strawberry ice cream. Fresh strawberries give this ice cream an amazing flavor. I am currently obsessed with strawberries because it’s the time of year where they are fresh and inexpensive.

You can definitely change up the fruit in this recipe though if you want to. There are so many wonderful seasonal fruits.
