If you prefer a less sweet ice cream, reduce the amount of sugar.
Feel free to experiment with other flavorings, such as a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of black pepper, to enhance the strawberry flavor.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe! Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals. This method will result in a slightly icier texture, but it will still be delicious.
