    Roasting strawberries in balsamic vinegar and sugar gives this such an adult feel featuring a caramelized syrupy decadent end result flavor. Give Balsamic Roaster Strawberry Ice Cream a try. It’s fabulous.

    Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

    July is National Ice Cream month, so I better squeeze in a homemade recipe before month end.

    But first…am I the only one that has issues on the ice cream aisle at the grocery store? Even my modest Safeway carries more flavors than my attention span can handle.

    And the process while trying to make a selection takes me through a range of emotions. It starts with excitement, turns to overwhelmed and then defeat. Not to mention the paranoia that store cameras have shifted my direction due to my physical inactivity.

    Luckily my favorite flavor is vanilla, so when I can’t decide between Chocolate Ice Cream with Fudge Brownies or Banana and Strawberry with Walnuts or Oreo Chunks with Raspberry Swirl, I can always reach for the nearest tub sporting a vanilla bean illustration.

    With so much to chose from, why even make it at home? Well, until you’ve tried a custard based homemade ice cream you’ve not lived.

    Cream that’s been scorched on the stovetop is added to beaten egg yolks to temper. Stir in vanilla. Refrigerate overnight so it “does its thing”. The next day add your extra flavorings and ingredients and churn up a delicious creamy treat. That’s incredible ice cream.

    My friend and fellow Denver food blogger, Holly over at A Baker’s House recently posted a recipe for Balsamic Roasted Strawberry Ice Cream.  The savory aspect of this had me pinning the recipe and running to the store for strawberries. Plus, I was anxious to try this creamy version which is not a custard based recipe.

    Incredible flavors here. Roasting the strawberries in balsamic vinegar and sugar gives this such an adult feel featuring a caramelized syrupy decadent end result flavor.

    We could not stop eating this creamy sweet and savory ice cream.

    So get out that ice cream maker before you’re asking yourself where the Summer has gone. This is an easy and impressive recipe to make at home. Thank you Holly for a great recipe.

    The words strawberries and dessert go hand in hand when it comes to desserts. Don’t miss my latest strawberry dessert recipe, Strawberry Tart Recipe with Cream Cheese Filling.  It’s one of those omg things. 🙂

      I am afraid of making this for fear I would not be able to stop eating it! If I ever do make homemade ice cream, I am going to go to town with the recipes you’ve posted. That first picture is just beautiful btw. Love the bokeh.

      I finally made ice cream this past week but of course I didn’t get it posted before the end of ice cream month 🙁 Oh well, I won’t stop eating ice cream in August!

      This looks incredibly delicious.

      Balsamic and strawberries…a great combo of flavours for the ice cream. Roasting makes everything taste better!

      Your photos are great and make me wish that I had this ice cream in my freezer right now! I may have to take a short cut and roast some strawberries this week to top my store-bought vanilla ice cream.

      Somehow roasting ‘anything’ and the addition of balsamic vinegar takes things over the top in flavor. I love a good custard based ice cream just like you! Gorgeous photos, Lea Ann, so professional!!!

      What a unique idea! I like balsamic vinegar on strawberries, but I would never think of putting it in an ice cream…until now!

      I’m completely intrigued by this ice cream recipe. First the roasted strawberries and then the balsamic…sounds yummy. I always make a custard base but will give this one a try.

      I have been wanting to buy an ice cream maker. Don’t have one. I once used that camping ball that makes ice cream and it worked great. This combination seems yummy and I’d love to try it!

      Looks like everything wonderful about summer. I don’t have an ice cream maker (sigh), but I might just make the balsamic strawberries.
