Easy 4 Ingredient Berry Ice Cream

So, I just got a bunch of stuff from Tupperware that I didn't even know they sold... did you know they sell things besides storage bowls?  CRAZY!  I got this Quick Chef Pro System, it's basically a hand-cranked chopper/salad spinner/ mixer in one.  And it came with a few recipes!  One of the recipes was for "Berry Quick Ice Cream."  It only had 4 ingredients and seemed like it would be relatively quick and healthier than other ice cream. There's not a ton of sugar in it, and it's made with real berries.

All you need is
1 c frozen strawberries
1 c heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp vanilla
3 tbsp powdered sugar.

You put all of the ingredients in the Quick Chef Pro System, turn the blade for about 1 1/2 minutes, and you're good to go!  The recipe says your soft serve ice cream will be ready to eat (for a thicker consistency add more strawberries).  It seemed to be about the consistency of yogurt to me, though, and I wanted it to be a little thicker and a little colder, so I stuck it in the freezer for a few hours.


Final product:  Not too bad!!!  It wasn't super sweet like most ice cream, but it was still yummy.

The Quick Chef Pro System also came with a salsa recipe.... can't wait to try it!  The blades chopped much better than I expected for being hand crank.... There must be some major gears in there to get it to turn as fast as it does and as smooth as it does.  It chops so smoothly, and with so much less noise than my electric chopper!  I may just be getting rid of my electric ones.... This holds about 3 times as much as my little electric choppers AND seems easier to use as well.  I LOVE IT!
